I take you before the baltic, before my ancestors in limestone, will you marry me. all things permanent, ice, all things the white of your eyes and you say dress will you marry me

over the white lovers' bridge with no monsters beneath; your father is dead will you marry me. june is fat, skip to november, lean with starved animals

will you marry me, baptized in cold sea, the gods of your country—in spanish, you are married with, you are married under cathedrals and spilled blood of rebels will

you marry me, a poet to bare your flaws, how your socked feet rest on armchairs; is this an assertion, you say, or self-defense; hail mary

in the open air, hail mary in the báltico, ten percent salinity, will you, will you, lorca died for the doves and franco by grace of

god marry me
and our children will know the sound of waves.
full title: in the year of your lord 20—

need to write serious sociopolitical poem by end of week
go back to disgusting romanticism

I am a failure at life

no cursing in this one :dummy: I KNEW I COULD DO IT.

franco called himself Caudillo de España, por la gracia de Dios, or so I've heard.
