La Pestaña

(The Eyelash)

By Diane BancroftPublished 5 years ago 1 min read
Y tú también! (You too!)

Como una pestaña,

Me frotas, y ni siquiera puedo pensar;

Sólo grito, y me arranca el ojo;

Desespadamente tratando de eliminar el irritante.

Todo lo que quiero hacer es ver.

Todo lo que quiero hacer es amarte.

For the editors...& for monolinguals; a translation:

Like an eyelash,

You rub me, and I cannot even think;

I just scream, and pluck at my eye;

Desperately trying to remove the irritant.

All I want to do is see.

All I want is to do is love you.

(para mi amor.../ for my love...)
