Love the poems in English and Spanish. Your translation helped make the Spanish version accessible to me. Especially love the lines "baila en la punta de la lengua" y "balbuceada en la punta de la lengua". I had read a tiny bit about Patti Smith too and been inspired by her story. Did you know you can see her perform (from the 70s) in a small venue in The Rolling Thunder Revue on Netflix? Starts at around 7 min 50 seconds into the documentary. I think the onomatopoeia works in English too.- Elaine desde el Puttyverse

Hi Elaine! I’m very glad the translation helps access the Spanish version! I’m glad to know the onomatopoeia in English works! :D I will check out the documentary you mentioned. Patty Smith is real inspiration for me :)
