Alma Garcia Horacio Ferrer
harvesters ZAMBA OF
When bleeding fatigue
his night of absence by the immensity
scream your box, harvesters,
vidala moaning why not.
Biting hear machetes,
the rump slicing the cane;
and frost bites you
of that nostalgia in solitude.
guitar in a loin cloth
as zambero
my song is raining
for your sorrow, harvesters.
Sing a blaze of Maloja
the bitter mystery of your distress,
still blur of the mill,
chest will tighten your dream of sun.
sleeps the moon in the groove
expect cloudy dawn of alcohol, wearing a poncho back
cold
your life, harvesters, cane dried.
