Gloria Posada

FROM AIR TO LAND

A fluttering restores the air
Birds return
and in the night
make a dream out of
the sky’s blue

Seeds fall
Create a flower from mud
or increase the desert’s
sand

The earth receives
shades of flight
echoes
of the thrust of wings
against transparency

DEL AIRE A LA TIERRA

DEL AIRE A LA TIERRA

Un aleteo restaura el aire
Pájaros retornan
y en la noche
hacen del azul del cielo
un sueño

Semillas caen
Crean una flor del lodo
o aumentan la arena
del desierto

La tierra recibe
sombras del vuelo
ecos
del embate de las alas
contra la transparencia
