1. Charcos
brillan los charcos-
espejos rotos
por pies

2. Gotas
Suenan las gotas
tocando los platos.
Sueña con el mar.

3.
vienen los gusanos
de mis pesadillas-
caída

4.
Sopapillas amarillas
debajo
las hojas de canelo

5.
quiero caminar
en la playa
contigo.
si vivo yo
a los 100 años,
nunca olvidare
esas noches
iluminadas
por la luna.
My short Spanish poems, translated more or less as the following:

1. puddles shine
mirrors broken (or broken mirrors)
by feet

2. the drops sound
playing the plates
dream of the sea

Tocar also means to touch.

3.
They come, the worms
of my nightmares-
fall (collapse)

I will link the explanation to this one when I post the longer poem.

4.
yellow sopapillas (doughnut like food)
under
the canelo (a tree) leaves

The Mapuche new year is around the summer solstice (though it is winter here). Canelo is a sacred tree that symbols peace as well as serving as an altar to the higher spiritual world. Sopapillas are a traditional Mapuche food and are fried goodness :)

5.
I want to walk
on the beach
with you.
If I live
to 100 years,
I'll never forget
those moonlit
nights.

Hope you enjoy, as always, thoughts and critiques are welcome :)

I thought I commented earlier, but I guess not. So congratulations on the DLD! I love the rhythm and imagery in these. And you taught me a new word (gusano). 2 & 5 are my favorites.
