Yo letreo este verso a mi Padre

Yo letreo este verso a mi Padre
Que sea de su forma buena y bien
Y suene de sus pasos y los pies
Bajo su Imagen empieza a Ver
Que resuena su palabra en Voz
Lo dulce, lo sabio, lo celeste.
Hoy entra el monte a sus Alturas
Envuelta el nube sea su rostro
Plateado de visperas el momento.
El monumento sonrie se ve
Entre sombra y sol su ventura
La lleva y pesa a la soledad
La une al amor y la mansa
De susurros al alma, Poeta.

Beholding Langston, From his Portrait


Langston walks over to the gaze of the lens.

Looks out across a century and leans

Casual serendipity anxious eyes beams

Suited for laughter, the glare ever since

Joplin over rivers born in between

The flow of the letters ancient to him

Renewed by the footsteps, focus to gain.

Seriously bargained to be again.

Watching the riverbanks spelling their pain

To Seats of the desk where writers go blank

The author amused with his elegance

Attained by the gaze of the photograph

Onward their destiny beckoned to spend

Hughes in the open faced alphabet pens
