Roberto Tejada Poems
Vulnerable therein & perfectly
relinquished by statis,
object always of my
natal, crepuscular desire,
...
There is someone who knows.
In no beginning
was there just one language
nor did the surface gleam
...
When from my counted days I think of
times still owed to me by tyrant love,
and my temples anticipate a frost
...
When I stop to consider my calling, remark
the places a wayward temper impelled me
I've found in light of where I wandered lost
...
For days to situate the flesh in whose inadequate precinct
motionless: a monolith of the often spoken
of which nothing is
...
And surfaced a flame in the dark elsewhere
of one remembered form: just one,
suppose it the flesh of unspecified man
a mouth down deeper between my legs
...

The Best Poem Of Roberto Tejada
Itinerary
Vulnerable therein & perfectly
relinquished by statis,
object always of my
natal, crepuscular desire,
into the translucent specter,
body's blue fossil
of ice, never autochthonous,
still embarked upon
the imperative passage to get
there, to secure a geography
that will beg description,
narrative map, adopted
tentatively; if only to write
the ritual book of what was possible,
but never bound to occur.
