CELLAR SONG
From the cellar issue
great sobs.
(The purple
above the red.)
The gypsy evokes
distant countries.
(High
towers and men
of mystery.)
On his faltering voice
his eyes travel.
(The black
above the red.)
And the whitewashed cellar
trembles in gold.
(The white
above the red.)

Federico García Lorca
