"I taste the difference
between the ocean's orchestra and a land
that speaks fluently to me"
Um, hello? MA? THIS IS GORGEOUS.
I really couldn't get into the Spanish version... I can only pick out bits and pieces but I just feel like it would be read much too quickly.. I think because a lot of people I know that are fluent in Spanish always speak SO SO SO fast, and this, I felt, should be sloooow.
Ears wearing pearls is a beautiful idea - will you ever have the "fancy" in your life, surrounding you? Thats what I got from this. This is really such a beautiful poem. Your last stanza, those three things. Holy crap. GORGEOUS, thats really all I can say.
I love the Spanish language, it's so passionate & romantic. I really love what you did here. It's beautiful.

^Stunning!
I was just talking with someone about poetry in different languages and reading the translations, It's nice to actually read one, you did such a wonderful job.
