palomas oscuras

Por las ramas del laurel van dos palomas oscuras. La una era el sol, la otra la luna. “Vecinitas”, les dije, “¿dónde está mi sepultura?” “En mi cola”, dijo el sol. “En mi garganta”, dijo la luna. Y yo que estaba caminando con la tierra por la cintura vi dos águilas de nieve y una [...]

I’ll be printing this one at the weekend as we don’t have a printing [...]

Things I like…
