Fredrico Garcia Lorca is my favorite poet.
I don’t read Spanish,
but even in translation,
his poems sing.
He does wonders with nouns,
with concrete things.
Lizards sing,
so do crickets,
little mute boys,
and orange trees.
The stuffy sermons of preachers
don’t transcend,
but the stars
and what they illuminate
on the road to Seville
the stones
the trees
the warm blood
and the singing heart.
Fredrico Garcia Lorca was murdered,
because he loved.
