"Déjame que te hable también con tu silencio
claro como una lámpara, simple como un anillo.
Eres como la noche, callada y constelada..."

Gorgeous y gracias, UofMFan

Nobody heard him, the dead man,
But still he lay moaning:
I was much further out than you thought
And not waving but drowning.

Poor chap, he always loved larking
And now he's dead
It must have been too cold for him his heart gave way,
They said.

Oh, no no no, it was too cold always
(Still the dead one lay moaning)
I was much too far out all my life
And not waving but drowning.

Whisper
by Nicole Pollifrone

Whisper to me…
whisper your desires…
your passions…
your fears…
whisper your dreams…
softly into my ears.
Tell me how to make you feel…
talk to me about what’s real.

Whisper to me…
as I touch you deep inside…
as I push my way through…
to where your soul may hide.

Whisper to me as we soar…
of sensual ways to unlock your door.
tell me that it’s meant to be…
whisper where to find the key.

I am trying to find more information for a friend at the gym on a poet named Manuel Flores who was writing at the turn of the century (19th/20th) in Mexico. My friend studied him in grade school and cannot find a book or any information about him.

Does anyone have his work or know where I might find it? I have not yet found him on the Internet.

Maybe Manuel María Flores?
