Poems by GITO MINORE - Argentinian Poet

LEAVE YOUR MARK

While sleeplessness
is the main character
of this story
hold on me,
despered and selfish.
Pierce your fingernails
in the senseless skin
of my back
till you get threads of blod from it.
Leave your mark on me
so that your remembrance survives
in the ransacked house
that my memory is;
so that the day I'm hungry
I can get sated
with the sap of your kisses.
So that the day
I've no candles
(after the last 25 W lamp burns)
I can be lighted by the nostalgia
of having dreamed you
a radiant angel;
or of having got stubborn
to make my imagination
and my vulgar ego believe
that your legs were the Colón Theater,
or your black eyes consolation.
So that when I feel too old
it comes to me the oath
that said
you'll never be lonely.
Please,
leave marks.
Hurt me to the point
you don't leave me scars,
but wounds that never heal instead.
Don't lose yourself
under the sheets
as your moans do.
Tie to me.
Get inside my bag,
inside my underwear,
in the filthiness between my fingers,
into my inferiority complex.
Please,
leave marks,
while sleeplessness is the main character,
install in me,
become rooted to my nervs
so that the fact that we're one (ever one)
embodies me,
so that I don't even forget
the day I put
my hands over the fire as I sweared
that poetry was precisely
making love to you
in a bar toilet,
or throwing up
the flesh of a disdain
mixed with wine
in the same place.
To be always sure
that this night is not anguish
but nurturing to calm
the noise of my belly,
thirsty of emotions.
Stay with me,
be part of my blood
as of my complain;
don't lose yourself, remembrance,
in this house's disgrace,
with no inhabitants and dust,
that my drunk and
hopeless memory is;
'cause I swear
I won't be able to find you
once you decide to leave
and we have stayed
one lonelier than the other.
