A Variation on a Granada Romance

 

Out there in this world

there lives and rings

Frederico (Spanish

for Vladimir) García Lorca

through Sleepwalking Romance.

 

There what a ship is to the sea

a horse is to a mountain,

and a shadow dreams

of a woman’s waist,

and the waist of a balcony,

 

and the balcony of one such waist

and its shade coming to oblige

beauty like a veil, and that’s why

the wind too will turn as fine and green.
