birthdays

[Guerrion]

I’m thinking
about my birthday and the sunset.
Birthdays are nonsense because I never
wish to remember that I’m getting old or becoming an old fart.

I came to think of birthdays
as a weird and exhausting time
or as something you carry and enjoy
for a short while and later just don’t give a shit.

Oh but I love cake, las mañanitas,
a nice and wild fuck, gift cards and my morning woody.

I have never asked for any wishes but
If could or if I ever die it will be nice to celebrate
my birthday and my non existence in the same day. That will be something….

well, it don't work that way...
you celebrate once a year your wildy sex...but
You die a little... every day.

 

[Guadalupe Cisneros-Villa]

I like to celebrate others' birthdays and not necessarily mine.
XOXOXOXO

Gus,
I don’t want to talk about sex right off the bat but...
mmm, when women do their magic thing or are in control that could mean all the difference in a man’s life.
I mean, even if I am not in a relationship it’s a beautiful journey but you stated the truth; “ you die a little every day you do the wild....”

Anyway, lets talk about birthdays, well, these are tiring, confusing and besides, I get so sick of eating so much cake but like Guadalupe, I love to celebrate other’s birthdays. I felt weird writing about dying in our birthdays and at the same time it felt kind of seductive. Of course, only if God allows it but it would be a very unique or double present to celebrate...can you imagine?

Take care bro..
Fidel Guerra.

I don't celebrate my own either... but let me confess the reason I am so gray...
believe me when I say... I had my cake and I ate it.

and woody was no match... it is more like sky rocket bound for mars.

Oh... I almost forgot... Happy birthday!! Cheers!

 

[Guerrion]

Guadalupe,
I am with you but please don’t think that I was pissed off at all the birthdays, just mine.
My birthday come to me everyday that’s why I don’t care much about this specific day.

Saludos,
Fidel Guerra.

Gus,
thanks for your congratulations, for remembering... but your response, as a whole is a clever one, my friend, you win.!! I don’t know but I think we must clear our expectations, our old ways in order to accept new ideas… believe it or not, even if we don’t know each other, makes me proud that you and I can write about this and that...shit like woody, rockets, tanates, etc. you know, like when we were kids….boys are….

Fidel.

Happy birhtday to you Guerrion, and yes its true once a year happened and everyday we die. So Cheers my friend!!!

Maria,
I always look for turns or ways to avoid on celebrating my birthday but it’s not that easy.
As you get older, it seems, they come faster than the previous one. I guess every birthday, as every day,
hope is reborn and we travel out of it as well. Sorry, the profundity of my birthday experiences are just plain,
not for candles, parties or fancy gifts, but work and religious background. Ah yes, everything changes but some things don't.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts/ kindness.

Fidel G.

I understand you clearly, but there something besides gifts and cake and cnadles and parties, is to your family or feel so happy to have such a awesome person like you to share the life. have a nice day, hugs and kisses.

I agree, family is love, everything. As an immigrant it has been through time and the many miles, even if many are gone from my sight and touch to the other world no one knows where it is but I am sure is comfortable and perhaps invisibly right next to us.

Maria Jose,
I truly enjoy my birthdays with my family but there is something or the poetic quest that makes me feel like a distant traveler in this special day. that's all, no big deal because the next day I feel like " Sergio el bailador"

Saludos y love to you,

Fidel Guerra.

OMG, well you are now a wanderer poet, you have home in every place in at this huge world. There is always a special day for us all. And by the way who is Sergio el bailador? Have a nice day.

 

[Guerrion]

Sergio is a song from a musical group ( Bronco ) de Monterrey, a hit from the 90's.
A wanderer? I'm because I know how to get myself out of my poetic maze but that's about when I fall asleep. Poetry does not let me be, it's tough.

Thanks for your excellent messages and responses.

A bundle of hugs.
