I wonder what she is doing at this hour my Andean and sweet Rita of needs and wild cherry trees Now that this weariness chokes me, and blood dozes off, like lazy brandy inside me. I wonder what she is she doing with those hands that in attitude of penitence used to iron starchy whiteness, in the afternoons. Now that this rain is taking away my desire to go on.
I wonder what has become of her skirt with lace; of her toils; of her walk; of her scent of spring sugar cane from that place.
She must be at the door, gazing at a fast moving cloud. A wild bird on the tile roof will let out a call; and shivering she will say at last, "Jesus, it's cold!"
César Abraham Vallejo, Thomas Merton called him "the greatest universal poet since Dante"
I confess i have obviously been ignorant. Vallejo ROCKS! Thanks for bringing him to my attention. ;-)
