your gypsy worlds
blacks
mulatto
your worlds of marine tables
of washerwomen
and republican females
from granada de guadalquivir
from pure spain
of poetry
of gunpowder
from the European peninsula to every land where any people
spits the anvil where they file his blood
Poet shot New Yorker poet end-of-the-month poet
unpaid rent
beautiful spirit purple animal robust fire
towers seas dogs moons green girls
olives mothers widows brave militiamen with ashen complexions
your gypsy worlds
You could have been Bolivian Russian Haitian Indian German
you could have given birth and felt any country
Chance wanted you Spain
chance and its bells
your tongue conquering languages
and patrician roots of sadness,
lunar poet, filing of aromas.
Virgin insect blue gas of the planets.
firefly, wild boar, kiss of the ages.
lorca bitch lorca steel
lorca wolf and poet.
