Kit Kelen #1 mediodia, Albayzín – last day of '15



mediodia, Albayzín – last day of '15


a rooster in the city
tells dawn to the walls
all morning
pigeon flocks stir something in him

it is a puzzle of winding ways
churches far below and above

voices behind me of solo pedestrians
a hand to head as if tooth aches
they have other worlds in mind
overtake me
as I write this down
climb into cars, drive off

some sit the stairs
action is anxious

there are rug beaters
clouded in dust
there are dogs of great patience
sometimes it's just conversation

slow two stroke ascent
'fandango de la mari' on the cliff above

ruins abound in hashish whiff
spat seeds are cobbles in miniature

first fireworks before noon
could be a terror attack
such is the age
in which we are passing

bells of twelve
are a distance to chime
they're for the stillness
we're well beyond here

the pigeons have another world

at least the rooster still commands
imagination's harem
