El temporal ha dejado sembrada la playa
de caracolas huecas, muebles desvencijados
y animales descompuestos.
Y tú inhalas la brisa fresca
y te llenas los pulmones
con esta mañana salada
mas, ay, está contaminada:
esa podredumbre ya te alcanza.

THAT ROTTENNESS
The storm has sown on the beach
hollow shells, shattered furniture
and decaying animals.
And you breath the cool breeze in
and your lungs are filled
with this salty morning,
but it's polluted:
that rottenness has almost reached you.
