Overcast / el niño asustado sacude el mundo En tinieblas / the scary child shocks the world. BEAST of honor / OBSERVANT / SOLDIER, SOUL DESERT/ WATER IS YOUR BLOOD/ AMONG SHADOWS Between is very important / portrait and the smell….as wind, unstable and cloudy JAMAS HE VISTO UN DIA TAN HERMOSO Y CRUEL I’VE NEVER SEEN SUCH A CRUEL AND BEAUTIFUL DAY. WHERE DIFFERENT ANIMALS OR HUMANS DISGUISED AS ANIMALS FLY among DISTINCTIVE CLOUDS In PENETRATING ROUND SHAPES The dark area is populated by shady characters … as a chorus of working classes MAKING SOUNDS AS IN A PUBLIC SPACE The animals are the guard of the intellectual head in the clouds RUNNING AWAY FROM THE INTELLECTUALS All in the Elliptic orbit observant and observed prepare the next lighting. It’s overcast.
Taking small parts of the drawing and magnifying them creates new images and new drawings. Taking small pieces of this poem will create new poems, called “aprotos,” as well.
