SEA ROSE

ROSA MARINA

Rose, harsh rose, marred and with stint of petals, meagre flower, thin, sparse of leaf,

Rosa, dura rosa, lastimada, frugal de pétalos magra flor, delgada, casi sin hojas

more precious than a wet rose single on a stem -you are caught in the drift.

más preciosa que la húmeda rosa, única en el tallo -te atrapa la corriente.

Stunted, with small leaf, you are flung on the sand, you are lifted in the crisp sand that drives in the wind.

Raquítica, con pequeñas hojas, arrojada a la arena, te alzas entre la arena fresca que lleva el viento.

Can the spice-rose drip such acrid fragrance hardened in a leaf?

¿Puede la rosa aromática rezumar esa fragancia acre endurecida en una hoja?
