I had forgotten this poem from Felos aínda serra; it was
drawn to my attention recently. It came without too much effort, maybe that’s
why I had forgotten it. The idea came from the icons on the bicorns worn by the
felos in Galician carnival festivities.
Looking at it now, I am very pleased with its accuracy.
“There’s an owl in my head”
Said Joseph.
“I am wise,
Wisest of all creatures.”
“There’s a
tiger in mine”
Said Paul.
“I am the
fiercest;
All creatures
respect me.”
“A stag in
mine”
Said Thomas.
"I am
majestic,
Admired by
all."
“My head is
empty”
Said Jim.
“So there is
space
For all
creatures to come and go.”
