Of remote lands I speak
JOSÉ PIVÍN (ARGENTINA/ ISRAEL, 1942-)
I speak of remote lands of green pastures and tall crops I speak of faraway pampas of wild horses I speak
And when I speak of rivers and of harbors they aren’t the same rivers or the same harbors you imagine.
I speak of tanned horsemen and you think of Bedouins riding on camels.
I say river and I think of the Paraná bucking crazed from north to south and when you say river 62
you think of the Jordan, narrow and modest.
I speak of the weather and I say coldstormyrain I speak of winter and in this moment you enjoy summersunheat.
I speak of remote lands of green pastures and tall crops I speak of faraway pampas of wild horses I speak. Haifa- Israel
