A ROSE
opens,
unfolds
a small
ecstatic
explosion
a hole
in the
fabric
of space
moist red
vortex
staining
the air
petal
bright lips
part
in the
sexual
pout
swell
to the
caress
puff out ...
ah your mouth

The following is a Spanish-language version of the original poem above. One of the challenges of writing it was the production of short lines, because Spanish has relatively few monosyllabic and dissyllabic words.
UNA ROSA
se desdobla
una ínfima
explosión
extática
agujero
en la tela
del espacio
vórtice
roja
llamarada
virginal
de carmines
y bermejos
en el aire
estremecido
se hinchan
los pétalos
húmedos
alrededor
de la íntima
herida
... ay tu boca
