Song of Dry Orange Tree


Woodsman,
chop down my shadow.
Free me from the torture
of not bearing fruit.
Why was I born among mirrors?
Around me day dances
and night copies me
onto her stars.
I want to live blind to myself.
And I’ll dream
that ants and burrs
are my leaves and my birds.
Woodsman,
chop down my shadow.
Free me from the torture
of not bearing fruit.
LORCA
