SONNET I

Jose Garcia Villa

First, a poem must be magical,

Then musical as a seagull.

It must be a brightness moving

And hold secret a bird’s flowering

It must be slender as a bell,

And it must hold fire as well.

It must have the wisdom of bows

And it must kneel like a rose.

It must be able to hear

The luminance of dove and deer.

It must be able to hide

What it seeks, like a bride.

And over all I would like to hover

God, smiling from the poem’s cover.

Senakulo (Excerpt)

Jesus had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost

And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;

And the graves were opened;

and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,

And came out of the graves after his resurrection,

and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

Ballad of a Mother's Heart

Jose La Villa Tierra

The night was dark, for the moon was young

And the stars were asleep and rare;

The clouds were thick, yet

Youth went out

To see his Maiden fair.

"Dear One," he pleaded as he knelt

Before her feet, in tears,

"My love is true; why have you kept

Me waiting all these years?"

The maiden looked at him unmoved,

It seemed, and whispered low:

"Persistent Youth, you have to prove

By deeds your love is true."

"There's not a thing I would not do

For you, Beloved," said he.

"Then go," said she, "to your mother dear

And bring her heart to me."
