«VALENCIA» A poem by Gabriela Marie Milton and Francisco Bravo Cabrera

(Photo by Francisco Bravo Cabrera/All Rights Reserved)

Behind your face, my face appears
then yours comes behind the clarity of mine
Valencia, we were ninots in a falla burning in the night
Images of papier mâché
Silver bodies dancing through the smoke and smell of sandalwood
On our palms the blood of mandarins
we stretch our arms between blue heavens
and a small, bewildered olive tree.
