Antonio Muňos Degrain's 'lavendarias', 1903
they work with light, bend to it
overhung with foliage
flowers in the hair
just coiffed
ground made mud
but as if iron
the basket is empty
one cannot hear the chatter
the past has lost its purpose
then here is the evocation of nature
among the ruins
hands set to
all will
be redeemed
I think the poem works on its own without the image.
