A poem….• PALABRA AMADA

- ¿Qué palabra es la que más te gusta? Luis Cernuda.- ¿Una palabra?¿Tan solo una?¿Y quién responde a esa pregunta?

-¿La prefieres por su sonido?-Por lo callado de su ritmo, que deja un hueco cuando se ha dicho.

-¿O la prefieres por lo que expresa?- Por lo que en ella tiembla, hiriendo el pecho como saeta.

-Esa palabra dímela tú.Esa palabra es: andaluz.
