Nothing in English at the bottom

NADA ~ ADÁN 

-Ricardo Pohlenz






















 

nada ánade nada cada hada

hacia la nada nadador

dador de nadadas

regidor de hondonadas

calas hondo en las ondas

dadas a nadir diré

nadie nade alada salada

halada cada arcada cada vara

cada sarrandeada

cada sorrajada ajada

hados dados a nado

fados vados a lado

marcovaldos crasos a caso

rasos alzados pasos

calzados trasgos rasgos

albos galgos magros

magos sacros a mansalva

salva algo salva nada

vaga salvaguarda vana

salvaja maja navajas

lanzas a lontananza lote

lanzarote al trote del tótem

adalid de la maladí malaya

malhaya la haya maya

en buena lid canalla

balada baladí de balas

núbil nube sube nabos

surte hados calados

sabe de ragas de gangas guangas

salvas en ráfagas zanganas

anda anaconda nada

 dolmen de adán mandil

abdomen de mantis mandril  

canto adamante rampante

te las das de tan campante

 

nada hada del adiós

 

NOTHING ~ ANYTHING

ADAMADAMA 

-Ricardo Pohlenz















 

nothing duckling swimming over sprite  

lingering swiftly toward nix

giver of swimming

ruler of hollows

digging deep through the waves

behold the nadir foretold

no one swims salty wings

each gag each yard tugged

each tossing

each worn out sucker punch

 swimming fates brought by

ford fados aside

gross marcovaldos if any

flat steps insurrected

features of trolls wearing shoes

lean white greyhounds

sacred magicians scot free

saving something saving nothing

safeguard so vague so vain

savage dame in knives

towing the lot faraway

trotting totem lancelot

malayan maladie champion

damn the mayan beech

fair and square riffraff

petty bullet ballad

nubile cloud raising turnips

sorting fretted fates 

knowing bargain baggy ragas

bursting lazybone salvos

go anaconda swim

adam dolmen apron

mantis mandrill abdomen

adamant rampant canto

pretending to be so laidback   

as if nothing

as if sprite of goodbyes
