'Letter to autumn darkness'

Now all green burns
in the golden sparks
of

Please,

a summerbird
waiting for another Spring.

Because,
in the trees,
undressed soon,
will be no more hiding place.

Lucky me to have my wings...

In loving memory of Encarnacion Parra Soto.

Encarna was a dear friend of ours, especially of my wife who knew her 30 years ago. Encarna was struck by three severey brain hammerages on the Dutch Queen's Day April 30th. Eleven days later we witnessed her life ending after switching off the respiration unit.

Spanish Encarna was also the personification of Iberia Airlines Cargo at Schiphol Ansterdam Airport. She and her partner Alberto were working very hard to gaining a house and living back in Spain in a couple of years time. Encarna was not given the chance to see it happen...
