Oh what you saw Garcia Lorca
at the depression shores of the metropolis
The sparrow meets the factory
the mountain meets the train
the boy meets his mother after death
and I am a cockroach
climbing the sad stairways
gasoline in my teeth
boy of sun and shadow
playing under iron bridges
loving tar and bleached women
driving cars into stanchions and mountains
wanting genesis in televised explosions
I have gathered all the mechanical horses now
and sadly am a dream in your eyes
laying my symbols with yours
at the foot of the volcano
joyrides on rockets of steel and wheat
we steal the flame again and again
carnival boys behind the backs of priests
