Phallic missiles
ejaculating death
polluted my boyhood’s dreams,
the end was fucking nigh.

When the knocks finally came, they made me jump, although I had been expecting them for weeks. Just past midnight, an air of complete ordinariness defined the moment,...

I paint what I see through the glass. There are many windows in my studio. There are those facing my dreams, desires, obsessions, memories and fears, those poking insolently into my heart and mind, those glimpsing into the stories told by my forebears at dawn, and those opening onto the stupor of the global village, shaped by the media.
There is no God behind these windows, but there are many haunted spectres lurking underneath the innocent faces and sweet smiles, Ghosts that I am hunting with a web of shapes, colours, tonal range and textures on the surface of the canvas and, indeed, on whatever medium I may consider as being appropriate for this purpose.
These works are landscapes of the mind, where representation and abstraction are entwined.

Pablo Luis González, 1998

the cats' slumber

Out of the mist
words flew
to dwell in my dream,
echoes of a distant spring,
out of copper wires
the past made contemporary,
the dead made alive.
No pain nor regret shaded
the cats’ slumber as they wriggled
out of their one-eyed sleep, unsettled
by my contained calm, barely.

Cracks in time’s abyss
reveal bitter crimson underneath,
nascent shoots booted, silent cries
on damned dawns, the rut of fear.

Raw words, stark memories,
forgotten voices, inquisitive,

through my skin
another language
they speak

a language of despair,
a language of desire,

un lenguaje de nostalgia,
un lenguaje de olvidadas palabras,

a language of revenge

that I no longer speak.

what's on


"Because nothing is as surprising as life. Except for writing. Except for writing. Yes, of course, except for writing, the only consolation."
The Black Book / Orhan Pamuk (translated by Maureen Freely)
