Translation
Translation of a poem by Xisca Minart created using the five words donated by the poet Samir Delgado – cloud, island, wave, flower and cobblestone – for the project
Palabras Prestadas
(or Given Words).
In the sky clouds press together
Like drab cobblestones
As waves with honed crests
Pound the rocks.
As if it were nothing, in mid-winter
Premature almond flowers
Clothe the island in white.
