WHEN I RETURN TO PICK up
the skin
of the oranges
I will find you
seated
under the olive tree
with your familiar smile
When I return to pick up
the skin
of the apples
I will find
your face intact
on your aging body
When I return to pick up
the skin
of the people
under the olive tree
only your shade
will be shining like
an emerald.
Lucia is a feminine Spanish name which means she shines.
