WAR BETWEEN LIGHT AND DARKNESS

I am, I am so young...

I have only recently arrived at this sublime,
yet immense and primordial war between light and darkness, emblem, attribute, and essence of the 21st century!

Ah, its Fields of Mars with their illustrations, sudden healings, or epidemics of the soul,

and ah, ah, the roses with which to intuit the highest sweetness of the spirit-love for this very winter;

in inviolable and formidable boxes of dark pulse,

- impregnated and locked with padlocks of fear, hatred, or steel within -
the ancestral and inhuman roars,

the spectral and obsolete with which to arm and instruct the future,
the terrible and atrocious roars, that is to say, the utterly useless;

Such, such is the roar of its anger and fury as it bursts forth and wounds across football fields,

or razes parliaments and institutions, TV and radio stations, streets, cinemas, schools, nightclubs,

where, amidst the sea of ​​wounds, faith, compassion, and affection fall and flee,

peace, friendship, our divine suns, the delicacies of the world;

... there are moments when it seems that only weeping and weeping
could soothe the axes or sickles of this immense adversity,

just when you touch your veins, and your heart,

like an enlightened madman -
assails you, shouting and saying:

Ah, wretched soul, take up your living Excalibur and fight,
fight with your fire and its pure fire and triumph, save yourself and save us...!

...these days—and these years we are passing through,

and those we have yet to pass through—
ah dear readers, and ah beloved poets,
I ask that whoever possesses an inner light, for their honor, pour it forth,
give it, magnify it, and expand it, and that its golden realm
permeate the deity that is brandishing vileness and death at this very moment;

...on this day, at this hour, you are begged and asked,
at this moment when I assume my own emblem of being and feeling so young,
so enormous and terribly young for this immense vital passion of being, which is the struggle;

...yes, I will fight it and document it, and with you, and alongside you, I will win this war.
