The Friends Are Gone (Los Del Bohío)
Tristan Robert Lange said:
That image...“Life is like a ripe fruit fallen / he who yesterday admired you / tramples you today”...is brutal and exact. It makes the betrayal feel tangible, edible then crushed. Strong, unforgettable line. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Mud maybe. (Luis Alberto Spinneta)
Tristan Robert Lange said:
My friend, I know that pressure to let the inside out...to sing or suffocate. You poured that danger and longing into visceral lines, and it lands as a real, physical ache. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A beautiful poem that speaks of from the spirit of a body not the flesh which is just mud or clay. Lovely

This poem capture the eerie feeling of people vanishing, the uncertainty of their fate, and the emotional weight of memory and longing. Nicely written.

This is haunting, Vogelfrei…absence rendered in rooftops, ceremonies, fragments, and wandering souls. A devastatingly beautiful piece. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Thank you for your presentation of these poems in English and Spanish reading both I get different perspectives and feels being able to compare as opposed to just take the translated version as the way it is meant. A lovely poem very poetic in its images and lines it talks to my soul. Nicely done my friend

My soul (Pedro bonifacio palacios)
sorenbarrett said:
The contrast between the English and Spanish is highlighted by the difference in gramatical word order between the two languages. Left preserved in English the Spanish word order gives a totally different feel to the poem that is creative and more poetic. I loved the poem itself but more still the translation difference a fave

The great word (Vicente Huidobro)
Tristan Robert Lange said:
My friend, this carried me into something vast…the fragments and echoes feel like walking through ruins, yet with a strange pulse of hope still flickering. It stays with me. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The fave goes for the Spanish version this time. I really love that you put both. It is rare that the author translates his own work in another language posting both and this has the advantage of the translation being from the author\'s brain. I could really feel the Spanish version of this one it rocked me. The English version beautiful but there is something about a language that adds a different air to a work that can not be translated. When I read Don Quixote de La Mancha in Spanish it had a different feel. I wish I could read Dostoevsky in Russian and Homer in ancient Greek. This a lovely poem

Alejandra, this wrecks me…innocence holding terror, swallows falling, children silenced. It’s not just haunting—it feels lived in the bone. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Olegario Sepúlveda [Shoemaker Talcahuano] (Pablo Neruda)
sorenbarrett said:
Strangely the English version felt more real. Usually this is not so. The grammar and wording felt more poor more sad. There was more of a sense of pity from it. A lovely write giving the feel of disaster social, physical and personal. It was as if a ghost was speaking from under the rubble. A wonderful write and a fave

A most interesting poem about a celebrity dying, not only dying but past memories of him and a wild life commemorated. Very nicely done
