A dark filigree
of bare branches
radiates into
the smoky sky.
Below, a palimpsest
of snowfalls.
Sitting next to a cat
with the sun in my eyes
amidst flitting rainbows
O fleet afternoon.
Surfacing
as an idea
too trivial
to water
nevertheless
I let it grow.
I live my days
in half-curated pockets
outside of time
to counter time.
Me veo por los ocasos.
( I see myself in sunsets.)
-Federico García Lorca from the poem, “Confusión”
In the back of a car
she returned to me
as we both watched
a flock of starlings
pouring wordlessly
across the crimson sky.
Los temblores suaves
de una gata
pueden salvar
el mundo!
