How To Pay Aetna Bills

between two stars



Fitz between two stars (Human Poems, 1939)

There are people so unhappy, that even
have body hair quantity,
low, inches, the great sorrow;
the way up;
not look for me, the grinding of oblivion,
seem off the air, sighs mentally add, heard whipping
clear their palates!

They leave your skin, scratching the sarcophagus in
born and up to his death from hour to hour
and fall, along icy alphabet, to the ground. (...)



Amado is one that has bedbugs, which takes
torn shoe in the rain, sailing
which the body of a pan with two matches,
which takes a finger in a door , which does not have
birthday
he lost his shadow in a fire,
the animal, which looks like a parrot,
which looks like a man, the poor rich,
pure miserable, poor poor!

Beloved be the working day, a month, on time,
the sweating from pain or shame,
who goes in order of their hands, to the movies, which paid
what missing
who sleeps on his back,
it no longer remembers his childhood, loved the bald
is hatless
the just spineless
the thief without roses,
the leading watch and has seen God,
which is an honor and not die!

Beloved be the child who falls and still cries
and the man who has fallen and no longer cries! Woe

much! Oh so little! Woe to them!

César Vallejo

The idea to put this poem is that I want to tell you that inspired a movie called "Songs from the Second Floor" directed by Roy Andersson (Have you seen anyone?) Although chose CineFestival of awards in Cannes is well known and I feel it would be unfair to keep to myself a treasure so important. I know many of you move Noridan and film are sure to want to go beyond Lars Von Trier or Ingmar Bergman. You will now have to wait (exams) but soon very soon, I will give a day.
