Jesús López Bobadilla Poems

Today I taste this apple and I think about you:
your juice pouring all over my mouth,
firm is your flesh, sweet and scented.
...

Today I cooked for my parents
and I thought: this onion has
a life that is the opposite
of mine: it was born underground
...

I can't drink the water from the ocean
it's poisoned by the faraway salt
This fish I have taken from the ocean
it's dried with the faraway salt
...

You, small and dark skinned
woman, coming from India,
spicy Miriam, with your hot body,
you leave my mouth burning with each kiss.
...
