Moon Over the 83 Year Old Spanish Woman Who Called David My Love

(from the moon series - Camino de Santiago edition)

Who fled to Germany during the civil war
and then lived in Madrid for twenty five years
and then lived in this son of a bitch town

and took twenty Euros to buy camels at the bar
but came back with Winston's and Marlboro's
and told us she’s socialist and called Franco

funny names and sang all night with the sweating
old waiter at the bar and you can’t buy experiences
but you can buy cancer and whose husband is asleep

under the sheets while his wife flirts with tourists
and waddles her upper arm skin in front of
Three Punches at the end of the Earth.
