Altazor Song I

The poem by Vicente Huidobro describes the eternal fall of Altazor through the void and time, burning stars, seas, eyes, and hearts. Altazor is alone and lost in the universe, vainly searching for an exit while falling endlessly. The poem by Gonzalo Rojas expresses his rejection of death and his desire to live fully, taking advantage of every moment, even though he is aware that one day he will die like everyone else.

ALTAZOR CANTO I Perhaps you find a light without night

Lost in the cracks of the cliffs


Altazor, why did you lose your first?
serenity? Fall
What evil angel stood at the door of your Falls eternally
smile Falls to the bottom of infinity
With the sword in hand? Falls to the bottom of time
Who planted the anguish in the plains of Falls to the bottom of the same.

your eyes like the adornment of a god? Fall as low as you can fall
Why one day did you suddenly feel terror Falls without a trace

to be? Through all the spaces and all the


And that voice that shouted at you lives and you don't ages
You will live Through all the souls of all the
Who made your thoughts converge to longings and all the shipwrecks
cross of all the winds of pain? Falls and burns as the stars and the seas pass by
The diamond of your dreams broke in a Burn the eyes that look at you and the hearts
sea of stupor what awaits you
You are lost Altazor Burn the wind with your voice
Alone in the middle of the universe The wind that gets tangled in your voice
Just like a note that blossoms in the heights And the night that has cold in its cave of
of the void bones
There is no good, no evil, neither truth nor order nor Falls into childhood
beauty Falls into old age

Where are you Altazor? Falls in tears


The narrow nebula passes like a river. Falls into laughter

And it drags me according to the law of attractions Falls into music about the universe
The nebula in solidified scents flees its Falls from your head to your feet
own solitude Fall from your feet to your head
I feel a telescope pointing at me like a It falls from the sea to the fountain

revolver Falls into the final abyss of silence


The tail of a comet lashes my face and Like the ship that sinks putting out its
eternity filler pass lights...
Looking for an inflatable in a tranquil lake in
where to refresh your unavoidable task

Altazor, you will die. Your voice will dry up and you will be

invisible
The Earth will continue to spin on its orbit

Fearful of a misstep like the tightrope walker
about the wire that ties the gazes of the
fear.
In vain you search for a crazed eye
There is no exit door and the wind moves
the planets
Do you think it doesn't matter to fall eternally if
he manages to escape
Don't you see that you are falling already?

every day that passes.
I don't want to see, I can't! see the dying of the
men every day.
I prefer to be stone, to be dark,
to endure the disgust of softening me from within
and to smile
to the right and left in order to prosper in
my business.

I have no other business than being here.


telling the truth
in the middle of the street and facing all winds:
the truth of being alive, only alive,
with feet on the ground and the skeleton free
in this world.

What do we gain from jumping to the sun?


with our machines
at the speed of thought, demons:
what do we take out

to fly beyond infinity


if we keep dying without any hope
to live
out of the dark time?

God is of no use to me. No one is of any use to me.


But I breathe, and I eat, and I even sleep
thinking that I am missing about ten or twenty
years to leave
face down, like everyone else, to sleep in two
concrete meters down there.

I do not cry, I do not lament. Everything must be this way.

how it should be,


but I can't see drawers and drawers
pass, pass, pass, pass every minute
full of something, filled with something, I can't see
still hot the blood in the drawers.

I touch this rose, kiss its petals, adore


life, I never get tired of loving women:
I feed myself
to open the world in them. But everything is
useless
because I myself am a useless head
ready to cut, but not understanding what that is
