Borrowed Trouble: Micro Tribute to Federico Garcia Lorca (1898-1936)
I wouldn’t write at all if it weren’t
for myriad writers before me whose works showed me what was possible. The poems
of this series are small offerings of respect, of thanks, to those muses. –
Brian Beatty
Federico Garcia Lorca
He lifts the guitar
from its brown leather
case
to sing
his resurrection song
to strangers
placing
flowers at his
feet.

Poetry without some mystery or a sense of the mystical doesn't interest me much. Thus Lorca.
