Valley Land



Blurry road on a rainly day, somewhere in the valley, Highway 120, walnut groves and fruit trees in gray morning light. Twin palms hold their own against a faint line of power poles, all cast at a slight angle by the movement of the car--Lartigue, maybe--that's what comes to mind, a roadside in France, 1913...

Aquí Me Pongo a Cantar



Aquí me pongo a cantar
Al compás de la vigüela;
Que el hombre que lo desvela
Una pena extraordinaria,
Como la ave solitaria
Con el cantar se consuela.

from José Hernandez: Martin Fierro
