Poem

Resentment
Resentmentas inalterable as the flip side of a coin
tests nostalgia.
Chance throws its dice
and you fall face down
to the floor.
Astonished,
she opens the window
that has been closed for years
and lets the rain come in.

Resentment
El rencor
inalterable como el revés de una moneda
ensaya la nostalgia.
El azar juega sus dados
y caes con el rostro
vuelto hacia el suelo.
Maravillada,
ella abre una ventana
cerrada por años
y deja entrar la lluvia.
inalterable como el revés de una moneda
ensaya la nostalgia.
El azar juega sus dados
y caes con el rostro
vuelto hacia el suelo.
Maravillada,
ella abre una ventana
cerrada por años
y deja entrar la lluvia.
