I am immersed in insanity
A woman
Of passion and beauty.
A woman of dark eyes
and wild hair.
The taste of Madrid
is still in my mouth.
The jamon, the tortilla,
The Reina Sofia museum,
La Latina.
I am in love with a woman
Not Dora Maar,
but with the same eyes
We stare at each other
across the table.
The tapas plates are piled high.
She is insane to love me.
I am a jealous man.
I cannot leave her.
Juana la Loca.
