Abuelos muertos, tías, retías y demás sombras / Ramón Palomares

Dead Grandparents, Aunts, Reaunts and Other Shades

Sullen conversations that kept arriving
People of the dream People of the wind
They were windy trees
Heart blows
They would suddenly take us
We were just a conversation

We were trees and people of the dream
Erring souls Erring trees
And furious we circled life
Rummaging in ashes
Rummaging in embers
beyond ourselves




Adiós Escuque (1968-1974)
