Celebration – Spanish Style
We mount up and ride
through the village, dressed as
camperos – gypsies.
************
Women in gypsy
dresses, men with sombreros.
They ride one-handed
************
They guided the horse on
the rein; riding long in the
iron stirrups, no crops.
************
Not needed, the horses
are well-trained; they know where
they are going to.
************
They arrive at a
field with marquis, water for
horses, food for us.
************
We eat paella,
drink wine and sangria,
ride home in twilight.
