A PROBABLE CONSTANTINE CAVAFY AT 19 Poem by Raúl Gómez Jattin

A PROBABLE CONSTANTINE CAVAFY AT 19



Tonight he will attend three dangerous ceremonies
Love between men
Smoking marijuana
and writing poems

Tomorrow he will get up past noon
His lips will be parched
His eyes red
and another sheet of enemy paper

His lips will hurt from so many kisses
His eyes will smart like burning cigarette butts
And neither will that poem express his crying
