The black heralds
There are blows in life, so strong… I don't know!
Blows like the hatred of God; as if before them,
the hangover of everything suffered
it will pool in the soul ... I don't know!
They are few; but they are ... they open dark ditches
on the fiercest face and the strongest back.
Perhaps it will be the foals of barbarians Attila;
or the black heralds that Death sends us.
They are the deep falls of the Christs of the soul
of some adorable faith that Fate blasphemes.
Those bloody hits are the crackles
of some bread that burns on the oven door.
And the man… Poor… poor! Roll your eyes like
when a clap calls us over the shoulder;
turns crazy eyes, and everything lived
it pools, like a pool of guilt, in the gaze.
There are blows in life, so strong… I don't know!
Author: César Vallejo
This is one of the best Peruvian poets, one of the most innovative in his way of writing. In this poem we can appreciate the wisdom of the author to recognize that he does not know where the pain comes from and how to handle it.
Also by saying "I don't know!" he recognizes that being as an individual is weak and even more so when the event generates an incomprehensible pain...
Hostel of the sun I
Dime
don't you fear death
When you brush your teeth
When you smile
you may not cry
when you breathe
your heart doesn't hurt
when dawn?
where is your body
when do you eat
where does everything fly
when you sleep
leaving in a chair
just a shirt
a pair of pants
and an alley of ashes
from the kitchen to nothing?
Author: Jorge Eduardo Eielson
A poem that undoubtedly makes the reader question the simple aspects of life, everyday situations to which we do not see greater importance, but the author does.
Moments that we all live, in our day to day, things so common that they become insignificant. Just like eating, sleeping, breathing, brushing your teeth…so simple; but they are opportunities in which we can think about life, about being.

I like you because you have the color of patios
of the quiet houses...
and more precisely:
I like you because you have the color of patios
of the quiet houses
When summer comes…
and more precisely:
I like you because you have the color of patios
Of the quiet houses in the afternoons of January
When summer comes…
and more precisely:
I like you because I love you.
Author: Juan Gonzalo Rose
In this poem, the author overflows his love for a person, makes comparisons of him because he likes that person. More specifically, he clarifies that it doesn't matter if it's summer, if it's late, the color doesn't matter because he loves that person regardless of the time, the condition or the place.
Give the bells your memory on point
They walk outside at two in the morning.
Nothing could December against your semester.
The silent sun swims against your spoken shadow.
From the bottom of it all
what I have,
you miss me
They give your memory on point the bells.
And outside they walk,
of a
in a,
two
in the morning.
How have you changed bald
(Fragment)
How have you changed, babe?
coal cisco
you have become a cute black
with so much huachafería.
you changed your flip flops
for stiletto shoes,
and your witch head
you tied it with combs.
For not gaining weight you follow diets
and you're skinny and snout.
Imitating your boss
You have learned to smoke.
Up in the gait mode
How have you changed, babe?
You wear a wrist watch
And you don't know how to see the time.
When a black falls in love with you
you shoot him with your wallet.
What…! Do you also use compact?
let me smile.
What powders do you use?:
ocher? pinkish? Rachel?
or put on your skin
carbon cisco.
