What colors say

The clouds are gathering.
If the anger
it is red round and black
and the brightness from the earth rises
yellow. smell of a storm.
Do you want to say something? A strong explosion
the brown and we both flew:
of that cricket? twin brothers
---------------------- lightning and me.
The white If we go out together
from the foam to walk around the world
to the white Why did I arrive?
from the cloud always second?
go up.
And if the cloud 3
she is black, Where do the shadows go
Is it cloud-based? of the lofty trees
or of earth? when the sky finally quiets
---------------------------- the color and its screams?
And the color of laughter Where do the stars go
What is it? scared, without their shine?
The color of sorrow Do they flee alongside the owls?
looked the other way around the thieves and the crickets?

When the sea advances from one side
Count and the sand bites and bites
Is it because of the other side
What size does he/she retreat in fear?

they think it fits ------------------------------------------------

the dawn's foot How many shores does the sea have?
what is coming Is there a traveler
crushing shadows that they can count them?
like unhappy ants? Ruth Kaufman
The sum of light plus light
or the number that gives nothing? From The Book of Questions by PABLO NERUDA

The Rimaqué the yellow one is ending

What are we going to make the bread with?

Will the fire be hidden? Tell me, is the rose naked?
deep inside the trunks Or does she only have that dress?
until the sparks arrive ------------------------------------------------
And do they wake him up suddenly?
Is there anything sadder in the world?
like a motionless train under the rain?

What irritates volcanoes? ----------------------------------------------
What spits fire, cold, and fury? What color is the moon?
Why are there no black angels?
Why can't I run
The tears that are not cried when I am chased in dreams?
Do they wait in small lakes? -----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
Love, love that one and that one And hair, how does it grow?
if they are no longer here, where did they go? Which of its two ends?
------------------------------------------- And the fish, when they sleep,
Who shouted with joy Are their eyes open?
When was the color blue born? ------------------------------------------
PABLO NERUDA José Sebastián Tallon
The towers of Nuremberg
Questions and answers from Jairo Aníbal Niño
Colombia What did you say, my friend?

What is the cat? What did you say, my friend?

The cat What if love is a river? It is not strange.
It's a drop of tiger. It is certainly a river
What is the seagull? that, joining the confluence of the diversion,
The seagull will get lost in the sea of disillusionment.
it's a little paper boat Rubén Darío
who learned to fly
Questions
Mystery yes my teacher
What will the mystery be? teach me how to use the semicolon
of the stones but at lunch
of colors? my mom insists on the 'eat and point'
Only the river ignites them Who should I listen to?
like suns. in that matter?

Laura Devetach In: Song and a bit, if at school nobody wants
teach me the "candy point"
Song of Questions much sweeter than the boring ones
Why can't I remember new paragraph and continuation
from the moment I fall asleep? Who should I do it to?
Why can’t anyone be that order?
without thinking for a moment? -------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------- if I want the letters to fly
Why, if I don't know what it says without margins or notebooks
Do I understand the music? and that the seagulls be a green light
Who saw a plant grow? on the blue chalkboard of the sky
At what height does the sky begin? Why should I be quiet?
---------------------------------------------- What do I want?
Why do I sometimes need -------------------------------------------------
remember something and I can't, and if my tear is a speck of wave
and then, when I forget with nostalgia for the sea
Did I forget it, do I remember it? and my laughter a little hurricane
who wants to fly and you fall from the branch.
Why not love the wind
Why not be the sea? Baldomero Fernández Moreno
Edgar Allan Garcia

Ballad
Mother, is the sea wide or is it long?
Mother, does the breeze arrive or depart?
Both things.
Mother, does the water rise or fall?
Both things.
Mother, is life laughter or tears?
The two things.

Emma Pérez Téllez

Poetry
Who has locked up
in such a brief manner
the golds of the world?
¿Por qué? ¿Cuándo? ¿Cómo?

Norge Espinosa

Green Moon

Why, moon, do you rise today

green like an apple?
Is it because it has to rain
tomorrow morning?
Or cawing catastrophes,
to sigh hopes,
or why the firmament is there
in blue and maroon stockings,
or to get attention
or because you feel like it?
They look at you in wonder
the bell tower and the factory,
the shed and the rooftop
the backgrounds and the facades.
And the watchman on the corner
throw your head at the sword
while the cap falls off
and his face wrinkles.
I'm looking at you too
elbows on my window,
and I don't plan to withdraw,
even though I have seen so many moons,
until you are fully mature
