so back in bed with the morning coffee. needed to make some poetical notes, rummage for a piece of paper . found a hardly used note book from 2012 in the dresser drawer as one does. anyway scribbled what i needed to and then found this little bit of a poem. thought; should blog it. later in the kitchen doing some clean up popped on a CD hadn’t played in years Carrie Rodriguez, the last song on the cd done in Spanish. “La Punalada Trapere”. Had no idea what it meant but thought it might be cool with the poem. in looking for a you tube to post here, found one with her doing the song live on a radio show, she tells the interview where it comes from, her great aunt Eva Graza.
so here is the poem, which i would title “The Yearning / El Anhelo “, which is not about the song and the two versions of the song which is not about the poem but somehow of course they go together with my morning coffee, my kitchen chores and my long illustrious life. from here in Ireland. adiosa. mind how you go & watch your back.
all night
waiting
nothing but moon light and stars
where is the one who loves me
where is the the one I love
all night
waiting
nothing but moonlight and stars
only the night
only the night
only the night
hears me whisper
over and over
his name

Very interesting combination of stanzaed poetry and prose poetry, popularized by Bauledaire and Rimbaud. Good show indeed, PD> Thanks for sharing. Everything’s under control here, but Scotty must undergo surgery on his right knee so he doesn’t have to suffer so much. Will check in to one of the big hospitals nearby, Medical City, on Monday morning. More anon. Keep well and God bless. e/s
