Dreamtigers

Haunting words by José Luis Borgès,out of Two English Poems.


I offer you whatever insight my books may hold,whatever manliness or humour my life
I offer you the loyalty of a man who's never been loyal
I offer you that kernel of myself,that i have saved somehow__ The central heart that deals not in words,traffics not with dreams,and is untouched by time,by joy,by adversities.
I offer you explanations of yourself,theories about yourself,authentic and surprising news about yourself.
I can give you my loneliness,my darkness,the hunger of my heart;i am trying to bribe you with uncertainty,with danger,with defeat.


1934
