Analysis of To Raul
Pepi Granat Cuadrado 1936 (Miami FL)
To Raul – Re: Andrea Bocelli
To the sounds that elated you
Now I compel myself to listen
Over and over.
The beloved tenor
Beset by unspeakable chance
Without eyes
Seeing through song.
Dreaming of you both
I sense the myth
That you still hear – –
Circling the Gulf Stream – –
And listening
Through my glistening
Eyes.

About this poem
My husband died seven years ago and loved the tenor Andrea Bocelli. And I loved him. I think the poem speaks for itself
