Behind the Curtain by Coral Bracho - Poems

Behind the Curtain

original poem
literal translation
translated poem

Behind the curtain there is a world of calm,
behind that thick green
is sanctuary,
profound hush.
An unsullied realm, its silence.
From that flowing vision
of another world,
from that other reality's diaspora of sounds; from that other time,
enmeshed, they are calling me.
