O filth of Death
who can clean you out
O laugh of Death
you crack me
Sandra Viviana Chisaca Leiva
has quoted

the bolt leaving the wall
the sword sinking up to its own mouth
O my queen
I did not see
Sandra Viviana Chisaca Leiva
has quoted

a state of exception
marks the limit of the law
this violent thing
this fragile thing
try to unclench
we said to her
she never did
Sandra Viviana Chisaca Leiva
has quoted
2 years ago
there is no stanza of human life that
I would praise or blame
luck sends your powerboat up or
down the waves at any given moment
no seer can see what’s next
Kreon (I thought) was an enviable man
for he saved this land of Kadmos
he got his hands on monarchy
he sailed it straight and furrows of children flourished around him
now all that’s gone
when joy betrays you
I do not count your life alive
a corpse is more alive
be as rich as you like be absolute
if your joy goes
I wouldn’t buy you for a shadow of smoke
Sandra Viviana Chisaca Leiva
has quoted

you’ve put the living underground
and kept the dead up here
that is so wrong
that is so wrong
Sandra Viviana Chisaca Leiva
has quoted

Teiresias [to Kreon]: you’re standing on a razor
I hear the birds they’re bebarbarizmenized they’re
making monster sounds
the fires won’t light
the rites go wrong
you know my technologies you know
the failing of the sign is in itself a sign
from you a sickness
from you a suppuration
from you a surfeit
comes out upon the city
this pile of rot that was the son of Oidipous
the boy is dead stop killing him
Sandra Viviana Chisaca Leiva
has quoted

they go mad
you change the levels of a person’s mind
this Haimon crisis is all your doing
you shook his blood
you glow on girls’ eyelids
who cares about the laws of the land
Aphrodite, you play with us you
play
Sandra Viviana Chisaca Leiva
has quoted

Eros, no one can fight you
Eros, you clamp down on every living thing
on girls’ cheeks on oceans on wild fields
not even an immortal can evade you
certainly not a creature of the day
why
Sandra Viviana Chisaca Leiva
has quoted

sayest thou so, well now well now I say
thou shalt revile me to thy cost
fetch out the loathéd creature
let her die hard against her bridegroom now this very instant before his eyes
Sandra Viviana Chisaca Leiva
has quoted

father, the gods grow minds in men
as the most precious equipment they have
yet I could not would not do not know how to
say you are wrong
