Federico Garca-a Lorca Mouth Poems
- 1. Piccolo Valzer Viennese
A Vienna ci sono dieci ragazze,
una spalla dove piange la morte
e un bosco di colombe disseccate.
C'e' un frammento del mattino
... - 2. Gacela Of The Dark Death
I want to sleep the dream of the apples,
to withdraw from the tumult of cemetries.
I want to sleep the dream of that child
who wanted to cut his heart on the high seas.
... - 3. Little Viennese Waltz
In Vienna there are ten little girls,
a shoulder for death to cry on,
and a forest of dried pigeons.
There is a fragment of tomorrow
... - 4. Lament For Ignacio Sà¡nchez Mejàas
1. Cogida and death
At five in the afternoon.
It was exactly five in the afternoon.
... - 5. Ode To Salvador Dali
A rose in the high garden you desire.
A wheel in the pure syntax of steel.
The mountain stripped bare of Impressionist fog,
The grays watching over the last balustrades.
... - 6. Dawn
Dawn in New York has
four columns of mire
and a hurricane of black pigeons
splashing in the putrid waters.
... - 7. Peaceful Waters:variation
peaceful waters of the air
under echo's branches
peaceful waters of a pool
... - 8. Gacela Of Unforseen Love
No one understood the perfume
of the dark magnolia of your womb.
Nobody knew that you tormented
a hummingbird of love between your teeth.
