I walk
the dusty Castile paths
As you
did
I feel
the wind on my face
As you
did
I smell
the lavender, tomillo (thyme)
As
you did
I
scribble notes
As
you did
I
follow the poets’ footsteps
As you
did
Darío, Azorín, Góngora, and Dante
I read El Quixote
As
you did
But I
will never be
As
you are...immortal
