SOLNETO / SUNNET
SOLNETO
soneto silábico en escalinata
sol
crisol
o frijol
grito bemol
perdido en el mall
de un downtown sin farol
en la ciudad de aerosol
y arterias de colesterol
postales de otra Sevastopol
interceptadas por la Metropol
en rascacielos de sangre tornasol
Apollinaire degolló soles en alcohol
los contraterroristas soplan su caracol
hologramas digitales de un falso rocanrol
SUNNET
syllabic staircase sonnet
sun
you stun
with your gun
aimed at no one
where car tires spun
now street heat comes undone
like some seventies rerun
burned onto the skin just for fun
and the corpse with its hair in a bun
tells the CEOs who call 9-1-1
“no one is an island but we are all Donne”
while the mall Muzak plays “We've Only Just Begun”
as remixed by the ghosts of La Lupe and Big Pun
and counterterrorists text “son, the enemy has won”
