Included is a poem a wrote a few years ago. Your music-inclusive poetry in the workshop reminded me that I had written this and I wanted to share it with you.
Sentada en un salón, música full blast echoing in the surrounding space...like being stoned, humos salientes de la cocina ardiente. El fénix rises from the ashes...musica alternative crea una dimensión desconocida hacia los años 90. Tengo 15 años nuevamente y me encuentro en mi prime... en mi Nirvana...atrapada en la viscocidad del pearl jam...like being stoned, espero por los Foo Fighters que luchen por mi salvación mientras los Stone Temple Pilots me transportan a mi Soul Asylum de hace 10 años. Y se acaba todo, se acaba la música. ... es otra decada... como George Michaels deseo FREEDOM! Suena a freedom mientras en realidad es el calor ardiente como un Red Hot Chili Pepper que enciende mis entrañas y me pide sweeeet, sweeeet surrender..... take me to the other side, give it away give it away, give it away now baby. SET ME FREE!
love this line! "...atrapada en la viscocidad del pearl jam"
ReplyDeleteand i like the play between Spanish and English. and yes, very in the 90s. funny how music places us perfectly, the ways we live music.
Oh, wow! What a complex little poem. It was either a schizophrenic Benjamin Button, or a complicated Spanglish Puerto Rican. Either way, it was very intruiging, great work as always (though, perhaps being of a different generation, I wasn't too familiar with many of the references =] ).
