The Fair
for Bernat
   
I heard the words come out of the mud.
Turning slowly spiralling colours;
light green Spring or snow,
the death of a friend; it didn’t matter.

Horses
in all colours and parasols red and white.
Sweets and candyfloss fly like a painting by Dali.
My index finger points towards the sky,

thank you,
thank you for my bread, my daily bread.

Pieces of mud fall out of the sky and I
catch them all with my mouth. They are miracles,
sustaining, us and more.
