Luna llena

Dice la tarde:
"Tengo sed de sombra!"
Dice la luna: "Yo, sed de luceros."
[...]
Says the afternoon:
"I'm thirsty for shadow!"
Says the moon: "I want stars."
Yo tengo sed de aromas y de risas.
Sed de cantares nuevos
Sin lunas y sin lirios,
Y sin amores muertos.
*
I'm thirsty for scents and for laughter.
Thirsty for new songs
Without moons and without lilies,
And without dead loves.
Excerpt of Federico García Lorca's poem Cantos nuevo / New songs

A book and two oranges a day ...

Don't you think it's absolutely normal
in a Spanish bookshop
to buy a few Wordsworth Classics?

a windowverse
and a moment of silence ...
