It was over from before
And so discarded the reply went by.Was it my questions?Was clarification needed?Or too much info poured? Whom, may I inquire.Whom may I return to, without fire? I dreamed a dragon,Once more.And once more smoke I grasped. Fuel is none.And with the flow I lull the love once I dreamed about.Only youth survives winter snores.

Cliché, imagen e interés
Por cierto, en esta clase de cosas existe la tendencia de mirar por encima del hombro del dibujante que está haciendo la cubierta y empezar a hablar sobre cuero, botas hasta los muslos y espadas desnudas.Adjetivos como «llenos», «redondos» e incluso «vivaces» empiezan a colarse en la narración hasta que el escritor tiene que darse una ducha fría y acostarse un rato.Lo cual es bastante estúpido, porque ninguna mujer que se gane la vida con su espada va a ir por ahí con aspecto de haberse escapado de un catálogo de lencería de esos que se envían por correo y en sobres discretos. La luz fantástica. Terry Pratchett. Es estúpido,…

If you take a look at a circle missing a little bit of the whole perimeter line, your brain will do the rest and you will perceive the shape as a full circle. Whether there is no circle in a way that is called closure in Gestalt and might not be related to the usual closure talked about in Literature circles. This idea of closure brings up symbolic relationships used by the images of the poem that most of us know as metaphor and metonymies.

Rejection
Today I said no.I don't believe.Fate is too much a thing outside of me.Whether I said yes,It was fated a meet.A rejection?Brought by stars as well.Orchestrated by who knows.And the unknown why,No one could explain.Where does it fall,The only thing I find purposely in life?Decision is mine.Atoms are hazard in play.The universe's got no mind.Everything comes by,Just like that.Herefore,It was doomed sad.Worst!It was a letter that wasn't a letter.An invitation!Nothing I would want.I write letters to be replied.Yes!As letters, right?

Lectura degenerada
En Estados Unidos tradicionalmente se había desalentado que los esclavos leyesen (sobre la base de que solo podrían alcanzar un «conocimiento inútil»), porque la idea de una población negra alfabetizada se consideraba peligrosa, tanto, de hecho, que las leyes que en algunos estados impedían que se enseñara a leer a los negros eran muy rígidas, y se aplicaban duros castigos a aquellos esclavos a quienes se sorprendiera con cualquier otro libro que no fuera la Biblia. Contra la lectura. Mikita Brottman. Blackie books. [The Solitary Vice (Counterpoint, 2008)]. En este caso, no es que fuera mala la lectura en sí. Lo que era malo es que pudieran enterarse de otra…

Why are comics and poems alike 7: closure p1
OR AS A SECOND TITLE: A WORD I COULDN’T FIND ANYWHERE SPEAKING ABOUT POETRY AND THE LESS ABOUT COMICS WHEN I WROTE ABOUT THIS IN SPANISH However, I’m not that great looking things ups and it has been enough about why poems and comics are alike in this series of copyist entries (since Adolfo Ballesteros was the chap who did it first and I’m only refuting his ideas with little to none authority according to other men). Nonetheless, that was before I translated this and found out that any Oxford dictionary can have a number of definitions destroying my affirmations regarding not finding the word. CLOSURE 4. a sense of resolution…

That wall
I'll walk that wall.Leave behind,Every dream that was trashed.Plunge into the sea,Proud and abide.Linked to my own colour of time.Everything I wanted untrue by design.No matter the scars,I'll look down upon.Upon that long entrance,Where darkness gulps you entire.I'll walk that wall.That's all I call.
