The Song of the Crooked Sickles
The Song of the Hoces Corvas takes a blind man by the hand and leads him through towns and squares so that he sings to the people the mystery of the human condition: his destiny, the dark foundations of loneliness, guilt and punishment, the half-open desire of the wells, the sadness, the pain.
The poem is made up of 411 verses, in the Alexandrian manner, assonanted, subject to a strict rhythmic construction of language, and in it the green spikes and the weeping of drums grow.
