Mal Agueros By Nick Carbo


If you come to Mojacar

and find a small green snake with its back

broken, don't step on it or you'll cause

an earthquake that will catch up to you

while you sleep in a continent far, far away.






























Nick Carbo, "Mal Agueros" from Andalusian Dawn.
