Buenos dias, Catalonia
The sea in the morning's breathing
like a giant, happy in her sleep
untroubled by dreams piratical, or merbabies
dancing in schools, unruffled,
only a few white manes flying, along the rocky shore
but otherwise a rhythmic inspiration, expiration,
lulled I'd say
by Charles Trenet
la mer, qu'on voit dancer
the shush, the whoosh
the sun above, shining in through slats
buenos dias, Catalonia
good day.
