If lilies would grow backwards, if roses would grow backwar… - Federico García Lorca

" "
If lilies would grow
backwards,
if roses would grow
backwards,
if all those roots
could see the stars
& the dead not close
their eyes,
we would become like swans.

من يجيء ؟ ومن أين ؟ / كانت على شرفة تتمهل ... / جسداً أخضراً / وتحلم بالبحر مُرّاً

Set in place the lovers who will afterwards be photographs.

Los caballos negros son.
Las herraduras son negras.
Sobre las capas relucen
manchas de tinta y de cera.
Tienen, por eso no lloran,
de plomo las calaveras.
Con el alma de charol
vienen por la carretera.
