The Guitar by Federico García Lorca

[dragonyphoenix]

The weeping of the guitar  begins. The goblets of dawn  are smashed.  ...

It weeps for distant
things.
Hot southern sands
yearning for white camellias.
Weeps arrow without target
evening without morning
and the first dead bird
on the branch.

I really love these lines! Thanks for sharing :)!

Thanks.

I like the repetition of:
The weeping of the guitar
begins.

and also Impossible to silence it

and how it jumps at the end to a Tarot card image.

I had to reread it to see the tarot reference you made. That's a really interesting image, actually. I just assumed that the guitar's "Heart mortally wounded by five swords" were the player's nails/fingers.

I like the interpretation of the five swords mapping to five fingers. ;-)
