Embebido

"Embebido" that´s what I am
drunk of the talent´s shadow I wear.
Embe, iambo, dandy, anger
anything I can touch, I can tear.

My words are in the freezer
my fingers in the air
shards of glass in my stomach,
tangles in my hair.

"Embebido", dangling at my bellybutton
a mouthful of rhymes to share
bebido, botella, drunk, drank
spitting verses unaware

Rima, arrima, pass me that drink
estoy embebido, I swear
a glass, a poem, I´ll give you a sip
I have stomach to spare

Pie quebrado, silva and sonnets
it´s such a syllable affair
falling from my tongue like
liquid blocking into squares

Give me a swig, give me a theme
I have a verse to declare.
Give me a gulp, saliva and ink
I´ll see your any dare.
