An autumn day. I walked on a road full of sparkling glitter, frozen water on asphalt. I looked up and saw mountain peeks covered in snow. I was happy. Then I was utterly destroyed by a letter my flying penguin brought me. Tears and sadness overcame me...why had this happened? On my way home a snowman gave me a smile..I wondered why...what a strange look he gave me.. On my doorstep there was a note . It said to follow the path of candlelit leaves and at the end you will find the love that fell. And so I walked down the winding path that was sprinkled with candlelit leaves and felt a curious excitement in my belly. I reached the end. An enlarged bee was there. No words were exchanged. Silently he gave me a parcel of Joy, wrapped in a box of strawberries. Joyous tear drops escaped my eyes. The secret I so longed to know was now revealed to me. I walked home humming a smiling tune.. The bird that was disguised as a poetry parrot was handed to me. Here is a poem I found by Federico García Lorca. I think the Spanish version looks nicer.. ------------------------------------- CANCION Por las ramas del laurel vi dos palomas oscuras. La una era el sol la otra la luna. Vecinitas, les díje. Dónde está mi sepultura? En mi cola, dijo el sol. En mi garganta, dijo la luna. Y yo que estaba caminando con la tierra a la cintura vi dos águilas de mármol y una muchacha desnuda. La una era la otra y la muchacha era ninguna. Aguilitas, les dije, Dónde está mi sepultura? En mi cola, dijo el sol. En mi garganta, dijo la luna. Por las ramas del cerezo vi dos palomas desnudas. La una era la otra y las dos eran ninguna. SONG In the laurel branches, I spied two dark doves. The one was the sun; the other, the moon. Little neighbor ladies, I said: O where lies my tomb? In my tail, said the sun. In my throat, said the moon. And I, who was walking with the earth to my waist, spied two eagles of marble and a naked young girl. The one was the other, and the girl was neither. Little eagles, I said to them: O where lies my tomb? In my tail, said the sun. In my throat, said the moon. In the cherry tree branches, I spied two naked doves. The one was the other, and both were neither one ----------------------------------------- The parrot now flies on to Neil KrajewskiŽs head..
