1. Procession
 Down the road come
 strange unicorns.
 From what fields,
 what mythological woods?
 Circling closer
 They look like astronomers.
 Ghostly Merlins
 and the condemned Christ,
 Enchanted Durandarte,
 Orlando Furioso.
 
2. Paso (large platform carrying a statue used in holy processions)
 Virgin with glittering crinoline skirts,
 virgin of solitude,
 Opening like an immense
 tulip.
 In your boat of lights
 you sail
 with the high tide
 of the city,
 among gypsy songs
 and crystal stars.
 Virgin with glittering crinoline skirts,
 you float
 on the river of the street -
 to the sea!
 
3. Saeta (gypsy processional song for Holy Week)
 The swarthy Christ
 transforms
 from the lily of Judea
 to the carnation of Spain.

 Look where he's coming from!

 From Spain,
 the sky, clean and dark,
 the earth scorched,
 and ditches where
 water runs very slowly.
 Swarthy Christ,
 his locks of hair burned,
 his cheekbones protruding
 and his pupils white.

 Look where he's going!
