Can't do it anymore; we have no strength, no health, no money

Judgment

Judgment

Happening,

Steps back

From the gallows,

Assassin's hands

Without enough blood,

A warm body

And at his feet the tables of pleasure.

The lips of this street

Learn fast:

Gestures

Crossing windows

The heart awakens

Listening to heritage

Left hands together,

It is not easy to choose,

Not to choose,

Drop the gun ...

On time.

Luís Alejandro Galvis

Suaita (Santander - Colombia) 1973 - Socorro (Santander - Colombia) 2004. Suicide at 31, by ingesting 2 cyanide pills. 

A feeling

A Feeling

I have the feeling that what I have yet to live is very little.

This head of mine looks like a crucible

Purifies and consumes.

But without a complaint, without a trace of horror,

To finish me, I want on an afternoon without clouds,

Under the limpid sun

A white viper, born from under a great jasmine,

To sweetly, sweetly,  sting my heart.

Around one o'clock in the morning on Tuesday, October 25, 1938, at 46, Alfonsina Storni left the hotel room where she was staying in Mar del Plata and went to the sea ...

The next morning two workers found, on the beach, the lifeless body of the poet who had foreseen that she would live little.
