Luminous Spirituality

Broadcast - Tears in the Typing Pool
     (2005: Tender Buttons)


rain
make me a space
-there-
in your bed of brief water

By Lena Retamoso (Peru, 1978)

(Translated by the author)



Women and Children - Oranges
     (2006: Paralyzed Dance, Tonight)


“   Loving you is like losing oneself in a glowing 
garden, because your body has the color of summer 
and your black hair shines with 
sparks of gold.

    Loving you is like walking by the secret 
light, among the trees, when it is almost
the divine night and still the sun drags
its passion over the burning things.”

By Manuel Mujica Láinez (Argentina, 1910-1984)

From the book of poetry: Luminous Spirituality (Excerpt translated by Lena Retamoso)
