August, 2003 Dead Aragon Village I want to live where the condor soars Dead village sits arrogantly on hill above clear blue lake I want to swim where the salmon talk Mountain condor sweeps under church spire of dead village I want to live in colours of Aragon I touch my face as condor Swoops below my heavenly perch The wetness of eyes is contrasted by The burn of flesh on nose I want to join the royal fish swimming Snaking to oceans of wheat Creature resembling man sits on Church tower of dead village Franco dictator`s guns of silence Hidden by time and the echoes stopped reverberating I want to climb in mountains of Sand and eat the fruits of the condors`power Single occupied house in a field of desertion talks loudly wander paths of ruin of killed houses twist like a rattlesnakes tail up to church where regal condor laughs at divinity I want to eat the fruits of decay Blackcurrent thorns cut open legs Spiralling, twisting, checking derelict houses Roof lies in cellar Crying in broken wine bottles I want to drink as the locals did Open toed sandals catch glimpse of loose gravel sounds Village sleeps with arrogant breathe Lake laps shore with salmon smiling At sunshine explosion I want to swim in azure pastures Condor glides to hunt next pre-packaged dinner King of airwaves between Earth and jet-plane flightpaths I want to wander the air like the freedom spirit Of condors wingspan Condor spins into mountains of Stoney forest Salmon swims to shady lake reeds Man twists blackberries into sweetmouth Village is left alone in Aragon sun All is silent In a cricket-song concerto
