Landscape of a Vomiting Multitude - The Poetry of Federico García Lorca - 读趣百科

Landscape of a Vomiting Multitude

gh the anemones of the piers.

in the vomiting multitude,

and summoning the demon of bread through the skys clean-swept hills

Theres no other way, my son, vomit! Theres no other way.

and the sorrow of the kitchens buried in sand,

The fat lady, the moons antagonist,

was running through the streets and deserted buildings

nor the vomit of cats that inadvertently swallowed frogs,

did the entire city rush to the railings of the boardwalk.

who turns dying octopuses inside out.

The look on my face was mine, but now isnt me,

I protect myself with this look

that flows from waves where no dawn would go,

and leaving tiny skulls of pigeons in the corners

The fat lady came out first,

There were murmuring from the jungle of vomit

on flint gates where clouds and desserts decay.

The fat lady went first

where the bitter tropics could be found.

Only when a flag went up and the first dogs arrived

with the crowds from the ships, taverns, and parks.

The graveyards, yes the graveyards

and stirring up the furies of the last centuries feasts

the naked look on my face, trembling for alcohol

and filtering a longing for light into subterranean tunnels.

who serve platters of salt beneath harps of saliva.

I, poet without arms, lost

who were begging the moon for protection.

and the crowds kept looking for pharmacies

but the dead who scratch with clay hands

and launching incredible ships

tearing out roots and moistening drumskins.

with no effusive horse to shear

with fermented trees and tireless waiters

pushing it into our throat.

the dead, pheasants and apples of another era,

Its not the vomit of hussars on the breasts of their whores,

Who could imagine my sadness?

The fat lady

Vomit was delicately shaking its drums

the thick moss from my temples.

Federico García Lorca

with the empty women, with hot wax children,
