This a project I did for my Spanish class. The assignment was to write an illustrate a poem. For those of you that don't speak Spanish, I'll try to give a rough translation:

Losing the Ground

Lungs filled with air
Unorganized molecules of oxygen
without reason until they leave through the mouth in a stream
creating order, I doubt that my legs can stay on the ground

A bird with pure wings
that sing secrets of sweetness
Is standing on thin walking sticks
like a skeleton that hasn't been chained

By the empty an eternal death
A heart like maternal elegance
A wave that I can't resist
Unless I fly, I can't feel


It sounds a lot better in Spanish
