Three line poems

From the mountains of western Spain. 2022–25


xv

I wonder if
the blossoms smelled
your nose

xiv

How shamelessly
these storks mate upon
the church tower

xii

Like this apricot tree,
I have dressed for spring
prematurely

xi

This fat dog
moves only to doze
in new shade

x

Mosquito,
I envy what you did
to her legs!

ix

Noon passes,
and still I am hungover
from that dream

iix

Stripped,
the cork tree
blushes

vii

On the mountain
I am the last kissed goodbye
by the sun

vi

How mighty is
this breeze that carries
bells up the mountain

v

This dusk
speaks of everything
I cannot express

iv

The rain
falls and lifts
a fragrance

iii

This grey day
I have not even my shadow
for company

ii

Sneaking past
the guard dog I steal
its silence

i

Winter wind,
please stop blowing
my thoughts away!
