Title: Cloud and Ink | Nube y Tinta
Language: Translation | Spanish to English
Category: Fantasy
Plot: A dove searches for the mortal who will become immortal and a god. When found, he will take a cloud as a pen and a tear as ink so that he can paint a woman’s face –possibly yours– on the meadow and sea.
Featured Verses:
Tear as ink and
with his hand paint
your face on the meadow and
your hair on the sea.
Original Verses: (Spanish)
Lágrima por tinta y
con su mano pintar
tu pinta en el prado y
tu cabello en el mar.
Poet’s Comments: One of my favorite approaches to writing poetry is allowing the poem as much plot as a poem can have. In this, I’m influenced by the classics. From time to time, I enjoy merging reality and fantasy without flinching.
