Beautiful photos and… you have been to Dali’s museum (guess in Figueras) and… in Barcelona! I live so close by. Next time you come again you could read and sell your books (if you have some) at the Barcelona poetry events. Let me know in advance and I could talk to the organisers.

Thank you, Marta.
We visited Figueras last year. Went to ‘Dali Land’,
where wide eyed tourists shuffle around exclaiming,
“Everything is just so surreal!”.
We hope to go back to Catalan
next year.

What’s left now is fall
as I can recall.
Lovely red-brown leaves
that good nature gives,
but also remember
we will not surrender.
Our non-violent fight
will find its own light.
After October the first
we need to quench our thirst
to win real democracy
not this present idiocy.
A season of reason
but also of treason.
Last fall began prison
of innocent people.
One day we will celebrate
the end of this evil fate.
