Instead of numbers, we would have the words of the poem with separations for each line of the poem. <\/p>\n
What do your think? Perhaps we could play with some program to make this possible… <\/p>\n
I am also attaching the poems that I would like to have bar-coded. They are in Spanish, so another possible option would be to have two levels of readings (like one in Spanish and one in English… with different colors?)<\/p>\n
I am going to present some of my visual poetry in Spain this November. I wonder if it could be possible to have an example by then.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Here’s an example poem:<\/p>\n
\nLugar del silencio<\/span><\/p>\n
Mantenerse fuera, privado, cómoda en la medida
\nen que las flores brotan
\ny los grillos ofrecen espasmos rituales.
\nlo demás no existe
\nMantener la distancia, la perfecta armonía de un silencio perfecto.
\nProtegida del ruido, del estertor del miedo, de la falacia humana,
\nsimple y serena.
\nHundida en el amor frugal a lo inmediato.
\nlo demás no existe
\nel dolor no existe no existe el grito ni la falta no
\nNo pasa nada.
\nSilencio quieto, partitura en blanco.
\nLa paz hipócrita del enamorado.
\nVanidad del refugio,
\nmientras el mundo sucumbe y sangra.
\nsucumbe y sangra
\nsilenciado y mordido.<\/p>\n
¡Despierta!<\/p>\n
El lugar del silencio es la indiferencia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
