Arnau

No és lluny, el present nou que es forja,
sinó en les seves mans, les cuixes,
la redempció dins els seus ulls.
Són càmeres de vigilància, aquests ulls:
et filmen, destrien, t’estimen
o t’arraconen en un no mai més,
i mai no fas més flor dins d’ell.
No es tracta de ser tu ni, ja ho he dit,
de la llavor infinitesimal
de ser particular; de ser,
tan sols… Tan sols no cal ésser llavor,
però si plantes els teus ulls al seu somriure
o pintes un somriure entre els seus dits,
que pinten, invisibles,
ja no tindràs aquella sensació d’ofec,
de córrer tan descalç per sobre un camp de sal
i travessar muntanyes per trobar just muntanyes
i destrossar miralls i tallar-te amb els vidres.

Ja no tindràs aquell ressentiment
que els teus petons no saben nodrir llavis
que tot just ara s’ensaliven, que no saben
el gust de l’olor, que és penetrant com ferro,
i realment té gust de ferro, d’aigua,
quan és tan vera aigua que té gust de ferro…

Si jeus a descansar entre el seu coll
esdevindràs la molsa, au!, que es multiplica,
tot un ecosistema, tu, en ell, per sota els braços,
si et mira i et fa part dels seus,
i si tu et deixes trasplantar en aquella onada
que et munta pel clatell i per les ales,
si tu el fas part dels teus
i deixes d’exaltar-te
perquè no pots morir
després d’un minut d’estimar-lo,
no has de parlar, car ets
les fulles més suaus de l’herba-sana
i l’èxtasi de l’arbre entre les cames
i el gust de roca enmig de la saliva
i ets l’enamorat i l’incendiari
i l’àngel que s’escorre amb el diable,
just perquè, amb un petó dels ulls,
ell, que és el present nou que ja es despulla
i ja a les mans fa gust d’herba aromàtica,
no t’ha dit «no»
i t’ha prohibit plorar, tudar-te, caure i fer oi,
i t’ha prohibit morir
i t’ha prohibit podrir-te.

Arnau

Weit ist sie nicht, die neue Gegenwart, die geschmiedet wird,
sondern in seinen Händen, seinen Schenkeln,
die Erlösung in seinen Augen.
Überwachungskameras sind diese Augen,
filmen dich, erkennen dich, lieben dich
oder treiben dich in ein Nein-nie-wieder,
und nie wieder wirst du dann in ihm blühen.
Es geht nicht darum, du zu sein, und, ich sagte es schon, auch nicht um das winzige Samenkorn
des Besondersseins; einfach nur darum
zu sein ... Verzichte einfach darauf, ein Samenkorn zu sein,
doch wenn du deine Augen in sein Lächeln pflanzst
oder ein Lächeln zwischen seine Finger malst,
die selber unsichtbar malen,
dann wirst du nicht mehr das Gefühl haben, zu ersticken
und barfuß über ein Salzfeld zu laufen
und Berge zu überqueren, um doch nur Berge zu finden,
und Spiegel zu zerstören und dich an den Glassplittern zu schneiden.

Du wirst den Verdruss nicht mehr spüren,
dass deine Küsse keine Lippen zu nähren wissen,
die gerade feucht werden, dass sie
den Geschmack des Geruchs nicht kennen, durchdringend wie Eisen,
und er schmeckt wirklich nach Eisen, nach Wasser,
das ja nach Eisen schmeckt, wenn es wahres Wasser ist ...

Wenn du dich zum Ruhen hinlegst an seinen Hals,
wirst du zu Moos werden, los!, das sich vervielfältigt,
ein ganzes Ökosystem, du, in ihm, unter den Armen,
wenn er dich anschaut und zu einem der Seinen macht,
und wenn du dich verpflanzen lässt mit jener Welle,
die dir über den Nacken und die Flügel hinaufläuft,
wenn du ihn zu einem der Deinen machst
und aufhörst, dich aufzuregen,
denn du kannst nicht sterben,
nachdem du ihn eine Minute geliebt hast,
du musst nicht sprechen, denn du bist
die zartesten Blätter der Minze
und die Extase des Baums zwischen den Beinen
und der Geschmack nach Fels mitten im Speichel
und du bist der Verliebte und der Brandstifter
und der Engel, dem einer abgeht mit dem Teufel,
nur weil er, mit einem Kuss der Augen,
– er, der die neue Gegenwart ist, die sich schon entkleidet
und an den Händen schon nach Kräutern schmeckt –
nicht »Nein« zu dir gesagt hat,
und dir verboten hat zu weinen, zu erlöschen, hinzufallen und Ekel zu erregen,
und dir verboten hat zu sterben
und dir verboten hat zu verfaulen.

Arnau

It isn’t far away, this new now being forged,
but in his hands, and thighs,
the redemption in his eyes.
They are surveillance cameras, these eyes:
they film you, choose, and love you
or discard you in a nevermore,
and never more do you flower in him.
It’s not about being you nor, as I have said already,
about the infinitesimal seed
of being unique; of being,
only… Only you don’t need to be a seed,
but if you plant your eyes in his smile
or paint a smile between his fingers,
that paint, hidden,
you’ll no longer have that suffocating feeling,
of running so barefoot across a field of salt
and of crossing mountains to find just mountains
and smashing mirrors and cutting yourself on the glass.
No longer will you feel the bitterness
that your kisses do not know how to nourish lips
that are just starting to moisten, that do not know
the taste of the smell, that’s as piercing as iron,
and it really tastes of iron, of water,
that when is so pure, it tastes of iron…
If you lie and rest upon his neck
you will turn to moss, god!, that burgeons,
a whole ecosystem, you, in him, beneath his arms,
if he looks at you and makes you one of his own,
and if you let yourself be transplanted in that wave
that rides you by the scruff of the neck and through the wings,
if you make him part of your own
and if you stop getting excited
for you cannot die
after one minute of loving him,
you must not speak, for you are
the softest mint leaves
and the ecstasy of the tree between the legs
and the taste of rock in the saliva
and you are the beloved and the arsonist
and the angel who wanks with the devil,
just because, with a single kiss of his eyes,
he, who is the new now already undressing
and whose hands already taste like aromatic herbs,
has not said “no” to you
and has forbidden you to weep, to waste away, to fall and to be disgusting,
and has forbidden you to die
and has forbidden you to rot.

* 21.10.1977, Palma de Mallorca, Spain
lives in: , Spain

Carles Rebassa (*1977, Palma de Mallorca) is a poet and actor. He has also worked as author and prop master on productions by the Mag Teatr – Mag Poesia ensemble.

His long poems, written in Catalan, deal with violence, sensuality and passion. Rebassa says that his strongest impulse to right stems from a revolt against injustice. “I like poets that have something concrete to say, that are aggressive and that slap people in the face with their works.” Despite this, Rebessa does not consider himself as a political poet; he prefers to speak about epic poetry.

He enjoys performing his poems with musical accompaniment, and he regularly co-operates with other authors in various projects, for example with Pere Perelló and Toti Soler. He worked with Biel Mesquida on the script for the “Auca” film project. He has won the Ausiàs March Prize.
