Barcelona
Everchanging, like a reflection in a river
Even when the skin is still
Despite my wild longing
and my skin which cries for clean,
I choose to embrace the livid city
for a moment of its fury.
Instead of cursing its many stains,
instead I look for flowers.
In fertile alleys and windswept squares,
I find them everywhere.
Here cry children of every color
who will not hold their chains.
Like them I walk these walls
and I do not call them confines.
In the calle the women make me sing
and smiling I envy the sun
whose warm touch colors the wanting skin
of every single one.
In the garden sheltered by long scarred walls
I inspire the fragrant orange.
A breath of this air is as pure as any
despite the bitter fruit.

I love the great despisers for they are the great adorers
and arrows of longing for the other shore
