Desire of a Statue

Written by: Federico Garcia Lorca. Translated by: W. S. Merwin.

Rumor.
Though nothing may remain but the rumor.

Odor.
Though nothing may remain but the odor.

But tear out of me the memory
and the color of the old hours.

Sorrow.
Facing the magical quick sorrow.

Struggle.
The genuine, the unclean struggle.

But rid me of the invisible people
who forever move about my house!
