They searched the grave site
But could not find
The remains of
Our beloved Garcia Lorca
In that potential site,
In the year 2009.
Surprising!
Lorca shot down and killed
With three others
By the murders
Wearing military uniforms,
In the Spanish Civil War,
In August, 1936,
And left the bodies somewhere
In Fuente Grande,
Near a winding mountain road
That connects the villages of
Viznar and Alfacar;
The great liberal poet
Is not found where he is
Believed to be buried,
Yet he is found everywhere,
In millions of hearts!
Immortal Lorca, they thought they could kill him.
A lovely , evocative poem on the ‘immortality’ of Lorca,the genius who gave us ‘Blood Wedding’ and’ The House of Bernarda Alba.
Thanks Vineetha and Vijay for your appreciation of a humble tribute to a great master.
