While he stretched his arms, every moon, trying to touch the sky, the shooting stars stopped granting wishes to me.
To my father-in-law; wherever he is
I’m sure he would have given me a red
umbrella to shelter myself
to shelter ourselves
I summon you to the winged souls of the roses of the cream-colored almond tree I love indeed, that we should talk about so many things, friend of my soul, my friend.
Elegy to Ramón Sijé
Miguel Hernández (Orihuela, Alicante, Spain, 1910-1942)
