lluvia ácida
olvidando
que el verano
ya está sumergido
en mi corazon
y que ya cumplí
alegría de edad
yo canto de tí
todavía:
como no sabía
cuando éra niña,
como canta un
mendigo viejo
qui perdió el valor
de mendigar.
estoy un poema
sobre tí
escribido en voz
pasiva
y eso me está
matando.
Transl.:
acid rain
forgetting
that summer has
already sunk in
on my heart
and that i’ve
already turned
joyful years of age
i sing of you
still:
as i didn’t know
when i was little,
as an old beggar
who’s lost the courage
to beg.
i am a poem
about you
written
in passive voice
and this kills me.
Honesty, please...

I love it expecially the last stanza and the free verse.I wish I could say more,but unfortunately I can't.
I wish I could understand spanish, but I can't do that either.

this is brilliant - especially in spanish.

thank you! I'm very glad someone finally read it in Spanish - I agree that's the better version.

that ending.....oh, it just plucks every string of my heart, leaving me with a sustained gentle tremelo inside. simply stunning poetry, diana. i wish i could read this poem in spanish, but i can only manage afrikaans, german or dutch, lol. loved this one, such power and impact in it's simplicity.
