la pietà (seven words)

sangre,
flue a las venas-
al hogar

flow to my veins-
home

    Uh, hell yeah you do.
    But at the same time, you are so wonderful with brevity it kills. You know just how to say it. You created imagery, deep emotion, tragedy, love, and metaphor... all into seven words. You bitch. XD

      it's italian. i don't speak it, but pietà is a theme in mediaeval christian art, centred on mary cradling jesus' body... thought it was fitting for the title. thank you

        Lol... It's ok. Good thing I got both the messages at the same time. lol, made more sense. Anyway - it's sweet as that you can speak spanish. Would love to be able to write in other languages, I think I need to learn them fully first, Whoop Whoop. Anyway- thanks for clearing up the language issue, I'll stop babbling now and leave you be.

        Congrats on the silver again.
