Euforia Un poema en español. I don't know if I'll be writing an English version, so in the meantime here's a machine translation by Kagi Translate, which while not great, captures the content pretty well. In the dark days before,
‌ ‌ I wanted to conform.
Joy was distant,
‌ ‌ so far out of my reach. In those misty days,
‌ ‌ the anxieties increased.
I didn't have peace of soul,
‌ ‌ questions filled me. Until I cracked like an egg. In the luminous days after,
‌ ‌ jubilation finds me.
Joy removes the anxiety,
‌ ‌ fills my soul with light. In the clearest days since,
‌ ‌ there are friends of the heart.
I no longer seek satisfaction,
‌ ‌ my life is euphoria. -- Translation by Kagi Translate #español #spanish #poetry #poem #trans

I do not take any calls except from the century we are in when there is no bible in my hotel room it makes me sad to have no place to put my filthy poems for future guests it is important to let them know everyone should burn with abandon as soon as the heat is available be a self-styled alarm clock no one can shut off be the storm Love places in someone's home are you sure we can handle this because I am absolutely certain c'mon wind knock us around we are a tide that cures ills look at us in the mirror as soon as the invented language enters us something else will vibrate in our skin opening door with teeth of the future to the place where we let the freer feeling go when you told me you had been looking for me we pressed through every invisible barrier between us I watched you gently let the gods know you are ready to win the lottery there were people from the 19th century alive in my lifetime many years ago I met some of them they are all gone now as we hold on to the side of one another howling down the velocity of seconds

They promised to give me the song’s weight in gold so I carved the song in granite.

We put my songs in the fruitless garden. Look at the light pouring there! you gasp,

digging around the cold hard trees, rubbing their barks with milk.

I’ve carved all I could so I make more milk. From the silver lake

you cry tonight’s desire would split stone, rouse spring;

we sit by the cold numb songs: these temples without doors.

I try to confess I know nothing about trees— that I’ve always feared my songs

had the wrong kind of flesh— but hoarse, you whisper Look at the light

pouring there & I must protect god from my doubt. My lack of imagination.

I ask you to be god. I lick the prehistoric salt map off your back, wave to the lost

pilgrims, the finches, the green horses galloping from the next hurricane.

I count on my fingers to make sure all the nights have had days.

I bark at the hours songless. Afraid you will love me less—

afraid I will singe the new vines around our waists.


FEAR & IRRIGATION by Sara Elkamel

July 26 is National Tree Day. Thought I'd share my favorite poem, which was my mother's favorite poem. She had a copy of the poem hanging on the upstairs hallway when I was growing up. Remember having to memorize a poem in elementary school? Well, I did. It was TREES. #nature #tree #trees #poem #poems #joycekilmer

Pleased to receive the electronic form of my contributor copy of the 2026 Dwarf Stars #anthology yesterday. My poem, "raging storm", which was originally published in Star*Line 48.4, appears in it. The print copy will soon follow. All poets whose poems were selected for the anthology are finalists in the Dwarf Star #award, which recognises the best #speculative #poem published in 2025. The winner will be announced in October. Two other poems of mine were finalists in 2021 & 2023, respectively.
