TODAY THE SMALL BIRDS HAVE FLOWN FROM MY POEM (FINAL VERSION)

today the small birds

have flown from my poem;

the ones that wanted to be silver;


that kept me company

through stolid hours.

small leaves are weeping in the winds


the ones that wanted to be gold;


and that, forever

whispered the girl

on the balcony.


or merely on

Lorca Street disowned

and made of moonlight.


will it always be this way?

sighed the small breezes.

that is more than I can say,


the poet sighed;

their sighs together: a small

parachute of flowers...
