By Rafael Ayala Páez
I sensed the omens
I broke the words
I raised the wings:
………………..the pain descended
…………………….through the walls.
*Translated by Emanuel Xavier.
Hello,
I pull some sort of release from this poem. It is ominous but very apparent and powerful. A well worth while read.
I admire your use of indentation on the last two lines. Adds a lot to the piece.
Best regards,
Tristan.
Nice work.
Nice job.
