Granada: A Poem

How could I have known

Down cobbled streets, that

When we seek, that

That. Which is, without

Words

How could I have known

The beat you would

Keep pressing on

My life

At the long stretch

Of every dawn

How could I have known,

The gauche

Moorish ghosts haunting the cathedrals of my heart

Blood stains these hands,

of Isabella and Ferdinand,

These hills, this snow cast crag,

In Roma you remain, as I was

A century ago.
