Former poète maudit, RIP 2021. 2024-25 Pushcart nominee for most Proustean heartbreak. Montalean longing, Lorca pinning. I have to give you up again And I can't. I am after the lost sign, the single pledge you graced me with. And hell is certainhttps://bsky.app/profile/poemakontsa.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/poemakontsa.bsky.social/post/3mumjwxzffk2pGood morning tenderness with the most tender of poets, Julito Cortázar. Profits and Losses I'm lying again, with grace. ... I don't miss anything, I don't even miss you. I feel a little hollow, but it's just a drum, skin on either side.03 Sep 2026 13:17 +0000at://did:plc:pem2n45qvchgih62e2vxt4eu/app.bsky.feed.post/3mumjwxzffk2phttps://bsky.app/profile/poemakontsa.bsky.social/post/3mumjwxzffk2pGood morning tenderness with the most tender of poets, Julito Cortázar.

Good morning to the poets who bet their stack on tenderness A Late Awakening Perhaps we have finally arrived. Perhaps we arrived here by pure accident. Is that why we are so inconsequent, leaning into each other's bodies?03 Sep 2026 12:39 +0000at://did:plc:pem2n45qvchgih62e2vxt4eu/app.bsky.feed.post/3mumhtki44c2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/poemakontsa.bsky.social/post/3muky25ngzk2rOtros cinco poemas para Cris Julio Cortázar Creo que no te quiero, que solamente quiero la imposibilidad tan obvia de quererte02 Sep 2026 22:24 +0000at://did:plc:pem2n45qvchgih62e2vxt4eu/app.bsky.feed.post/3muky25ngzk2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/poemakontsa.bsky.social/post/3muky25ngzk2rOtros cinco poemas para Cris Julio Cortázar Creo que no te quiero, que solamente quiero la imposibilidad tan obvia de quererte02 Sep 2026 22:24 +0000at://did:plc:pem2n45qvchgih62e2vxt4eu/app.bsky.feed.post/3muky25ngzk2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/poemakontsa.bsky.social/post/3mukxetx5fs2gAnd I am melancholy because I have not made more and better verses. - W.
