Machinery
bird
I
My body crossed by all machines
orphan chips for vision,
by the rhetoric of birds
with which to set out the impossible.
Light, in the bushes, calcined
still too
consistency.
Beware of words that penetrate the air
and throbbing between branches
blasted almond,
on pure guts sparrows.
My body has a hollow footsteps, chrysanthemums
perforation,
machines to name the dawn of arms,
machines for my fingers breeze
for joining my gaze
or subtle reef gear few mouths.
II
Every bird
as a machine, machinery
my vision that aligns with your flight,
clotting step of their wings and skews
tiny crystals
surface air like a crystal that did not have any reflection, as a background
water where a bird was a rock,
a stone thrown into the river,
a crack that slowly unveiled the cavities
a sky of ashes, the clouds break where a light metal
gives texture to invisible hands, stalking the limit
bodies pierced with a grain of clarity, purity
gives the complex,
configure a machine
spring birds and clouds,
wiring confusion, dysfunction
amazing thing.
Too many machines, and birds.
No bird is real, but the layman
link between an eye and a body that still can not get the tombstone
name, thickness,
happen when all that unites the event
is a strip of space, the margin
batch of oblivion.
birds You see the glass that they have trampled
in the tent of heaven
the same fictions that glimpse, the same puzzlement
light tracery of cloud
unraveled?
There are no words for all these devices
because every word reveals, only,
an interruption of larks.
III machines
Too, too many birds, too
improbable fictions in this sky
that leaves the placid comfort
made her lie and body of the poem,
writing that breaks the glare of the limestone, giving
Nomenclature
the stem iridescent light.
not give voice to those machines, the alliance between the birds and my eyes
aware of your flight,
but that space, the void yet to be thought
when they have passed all the swifts.

Then we take freedom play a commentary by the Chilean poet Eduardo Embry about the award:
Dear Jorge Etcheverry, sometimes silent one is said to bless the good deeds, the depth of the words of teachers, or the majesty of our mountainous landscapes but to the great poetry that you prize in the wheel Alba avant-garde poetry in Castilian, I will forgive those that provide silent, for this time, to balance both verbal, with so many beautiful combinations to strings of adjectives, verbs and matter, and all so quickly, I think a win, both have award-winning poet - Jorge Fernandez Gonzalo, and the organizers of the competition. With the poet laureate, who is a thorough and transparent theory of his own poetry, comparable in our tradition adult with Vicente García Huidobro, with TS Eliot, or a Pablo Neruda's Residence on Earth, and hand - in the a linguistically-Juarroz Robeto or our loved Gonzalo Millán. His theory of the disaster, to think that each poem creates a system, and each system creates its own mistake ", leads a happy theory of relativity of things-to say Luis Cernuda, the" Chair of the King " "I can not be wrong, I am not mistaken;
And although I would erred
The error will turn my Truth
, because my error there
But for him, and through him hitting me wrong. "
Finally, with theory or not, Jorge Fernandez Gonzalo, with his poem The machinery of the birds is now one of the best poets of the newest generations English language. Congratulations -
Eduardo Embry, from England.
