Bolivia, 2012
for Eloy Anello, in memoriam left behind-- it was the distance of your corpse that drilled a hole where there was you it was imagining an unimaginable voyage-- my Ulysses without a body without an Ithaca it was that unspoken weather that we refer to when there is no more speech nor comfort in our dwelling it was me not knowing what body you took in my dreams-- me, desiring more than a vision it was not wanting closure a simple memory the going-away of your voice your eyes the warmth of your arms ·······  ······· |

WOW - I really liked this Sergio - it's a great tribute - I confess to ignorance of this gentleman but your poem inspired me to go and find out. He certainly appears to have been a man of greatness and an inspirational person.

Sergio, as usual, your poems open up unexplored territories to me. I've just spent about half-an-hour reading up about Eloy Anello, as well as about the Bahá'í Faith. Most interesting. Of course, I'm especially attracted to the need for Moral Leadership among our world leaders and politicians. That's a big issue, indeed. I didn't know so many lovely temples have been constructed around the world for the Bahá'í Faith, despite it's being a relatively new religion. In the U.S.A., Norway, Latin America and so on.. Sorry, I'll have to return to re-read your tribute to this true friend of yours. Your 'anhelo' for Anello. Nostalgic verses. I spent too much time investigating! Thank you, Sergio, for this.

Thank you Sylvia. Eloy was a very spiritual man. I am Changing the title of this one to In Memoriam and I am trimming the first stanza. Thank you.
In Memoriam for E. A. it was imagining an unimaginable voyage-- my Ulysses without a body without an Ithaca it was that unspoken weather we refer to when there is no more speech nor comfort in our dwelling it was me not knowing what body you took in my dreams--me desiring more than a vision it was not wanting closure, a simple memory the going-away of your voice, your eyes, the warmth of your arms ······· ······· |
