CASTILIAN BODY by BENJAMIN ROSENBAUM

First Line: WHEN THE WIND CURVES THE WILLOWS
Last Line: IS IT NOT YOU WHO TOUCHES ME ON THE SHOULDER?

WHEN the wind curves the willows;
When a Castilian body bends,
Is it not you who touches me on the shoulder?

@3In the Sierra Morena,
An old woman,
Crying over old memories,
Told me strange things about lovers.@1

When the waves sway as dancers;
When the wind curves the willows,
Is it not you who touches me on the shoulder?
