On Seeing The ‘Valley Of The Fallen’ Copyright © 08 Paul Jenkins
Franco’s Tomb 1993

Que soy yo?

Should you lead me
to the side of the road
and shoot me
beneath the trees,
who would remember me?

My loss would be recalled
for a day or more
my death
of little consequence
but to a scant few.

What little spilt blood
might stain some
square centimetres of ground
until the next rain.
Of no significance!

No importa soy nada
No es importanté!
