Best Miguel Poems

he knows what they want
he always figures it out
miguel of the south

as the days went by
the masses grew in number
they tore down the walls

they flocked from the hills
and from the moors in the south
from the regal halls

they saw the whole thing
beheld the proclamation
the solemn promise

we might stroll through lengthening shadows
those deserted streets
where love first bloomed ...

We lived in the same house. In a silent, English-style, beautiful road
