They Will Sew the Blue Sail

THUNDERHEAD | Danniel Schoonebeek

There in the field:

the olives.

·

Warm yourself they say no leave us to our pits

·

& the sky she’s trying to slug herself

into the orchard

with her beard of bright crumbs

·

There in the delta:

the mallards.

·

It’s the end of a few gods there’s washing of flanks

·

Your breath wools.

·

Your breath wools.

·

We find ourselves guilty of our pits

·

& now the family turns south

the warbirds

their long feathers that dig out

the furrows

& trail the dismay

 

“Thunderhead” is a collaboration with Federico García Lorca, who was shot at the Fuente Grande in 1936.
