Gibraltar, the rock on the glass

This photograph for Las Fotos de los Lectores de La Vanguardia, which I accompany with a poem, was taken from the terrace of my house, in Bahía de las Rocas, San Luis de Sabinillas, province of Málaga.

subtle silhouette,

Rock that rocks the winds of the strait;

tireless, static, mimetic,

before the huge mirror

where you shine from the shadows

.

Your face,

sleep eternal

on the glass of the seas

and fly between dreams

one and a thousand times crossing the skies.

.

It is your stony soul,

the one that reflects the history of our ancestors,

and undaunted, never dies;

stands full of pride,

for those who admire you,

not being yours,

and for those who wake up

in the beautiful dawn of your entrails.
