Lengua Verde
verde que te quiero verde
cried Lorca
he would have loved our winter wheat, the only green thing in the fields then
acres, acres, miles of bright stalks sassing back the winterbrown world
Now the trees leaf out more each persistent day, pin oaks, maples, short
ornamentals
in their tidy yards
fucking spring
mira que lindo los arboles, las floras
el cielo que es una joya, un zafiro
verde entre verde, green between
green, above, below, all places in between between
more green
pero pero
a veces prefiero
go ahead, say it queiro
I want
verde solo verde solo green green green alone against
brown
