Poem
María Clemencia Sánchez
SONATA TO MAKE THE DAY COME
I am in the bottom of a broken shipI am in the middle of a cracked sea
I am at the edge of a pierced sky
I am pierced in the middle of a ship
I am cracked in the bottom of a sky
I am broken at the edge of a sea
I am in the sky with a broken bottom
I am in the ship with a pierced fear
I am in the sea with a cracked edge.
Soon I will see the day.

SONATA PARA QUE AMANEZCA
SONATA PARA QUE AMANEZCA
Estoy en el fondo de un barco rotoEstoy en el medio de un mar agrietado
Estoy en la orilla de un cielo horadado.
Estoy horadada en el medio de un barco
Estoy agrietada en el fondo de un cielo
Estoy rota en la orilla de un mar.
Estoy en el cielo de un fondo roto
Estoy en el barco de un miedo horadado
Estoy en el mar de una orilla agrietada.
Pronto veré la luz.

SONATA TO MAKE THE DAY COME
I am in the bottom of a broken shipI am in the middle of a cracked sea
I am at the edge of a pierced sky
I am pierced in the middle of a ship
I am cracked in the bottom of a sky
I am broken at the edge of a sea
I am in the sky with a broken bottom
I am in the ship with a pierced fear
I am in the sea with a cracked edge.
Soon I will see the day.
