-With García Lorca in Fall River-

Federico García Lorca

Writes of seeing the green

Frock-coated lizard, meditating.

(One drop of crocodile)

Then comes the green-

Coated outfield across the street

Of my earliest house.

(One drop of planet)

Northward,

Along the tree-lined avenue

The great stone Victorian sits

Jewel-coated.

(One drop of tenement)

In that direction the eye sees.

In this direction the eye drinks.

(Two drops of journey)

With García Lorca in Fall River.
