the choice of verbs in the second lines of both the first & second stanza: lap / lag & swell / pool are very accurate & give the poem a proper motion. to rival any river. i think Lorca would have taken a hearty plunge into your river of language.
Just a quick post to share my poem “About Languages” originally published in Borderlands: Texas Poetry Review Issue 42.

Thank you for reading & for the Lorca nod, Daniel 🙂 Abrazos, José
