Throat of glass
and a challenging stare
wailing in malcontent
fabric threadbare
ultimate aggregate
darkling and austere
winnowed of flight
condemned to the air
Eyes of iron
and a voice to ensnare
polished dull
with a faithless prayer
treacherous loyalty
to empty fanfare
Amazing resolve
the grief to forebear
First Edition Translation of Teselas by Carmen Crespo X111 César Simón Poetry Prixe 2016 Translated from Spanish by Robin Ouzman Hislop and Amparo Arrospíde
In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
