Poem
Carlos Bedoya
THE MUSIC OF LOVE
The noise of deathhere
in this desolate bar*
where serenity reigns
after a number of
free samples
of schizophrenic syrup
you can only bow
at the bottom of your prayer
today you are invited to sing
the music of love
as usual
in a paper cup
*Malcolm Lowry

LA MÚSICA DEL AMOR
LA MÚSICA DEL AMOR
El ruido de la muerteaquí
en este bar desolado*
donde la serenidad
tras unas cuantas
muestras gratis
de jarabe esquizofrénico
solo puede inclinarse
a los pies de tu plegaria
os convida hoy a cantar
la música del amor
como siempre
en vaso desechable
*Malcolm Lowry
