Xoán and Xosé

Xoán and Xosé

You-two:
flowers of one stem,
fruits of one tree,
roots that seek sweet-water
in the grasslands of dry prairie.

You blossom
under a foreign snowfall,
the moon the same moon,
the sun the same star
you saw in Spain from afar
and followed.

You-two,
Xoán-of-the-sunset,
Xosé-of-the-morn,
two flowers of the fields
one bouquet without thorns.

Xoán (= Juan, John, Jean) is pronounced Sho.áhn and Xosé (= José, Joseph) Sho.záy.

Well, life is dull at times. The Saturday football game was a romp: 62-0. Sunday was sitting at Z's and working on my blog and old poetry. I've gone through about half of the 500 pictures that I got developed from old film going back 3 years. Some photos were a bit of a surprize. Nights have cooled off; good sleeping weather. Reading some Burroughs.

ODD THOUGHTS & COMMENTS:

A flock of cows in closed formation, flying ...
Telepathic cow power (how they move in unison)
Cow show girls
Cashew Inn (cash you in)
Wingbat, Wyoming?

Does anyone know anything about Gillette, Wyoming? I'm stuck there for a couple hours on the 21st. I spend all day on the 9-21 and 10-3 cruising and perusing the landscape of Wyoming. Any thoughts? Snoozing has crossed my mind ... as has reading Annie Proulx' short story collection, "Close Range".
