Sniper In The Spanish Civil War Poem by Bernard Henrie

Sniper In The Spanish Civil War



Morado is a color I learned

in Barcelona and the phrase:

pasarlas moradas:

to have a bad time of it.


A bandolero across

your girlish chest,

your silhouette posed

against the slowing sky,

dead from a sniper bullet

shot at great distance;

rough as a garden weed

Spanish to the touch.
