I am mother of 2 children, Beatriu and Lluc. I am an English teacher and I live in a small village of only 1000 inhabitants. I like writing, reading, travelling, listening to music and learning. I also write in Catalan, my mother tongue (one of the 2 official languages in Catalonia, which is NE of Spain, Capital city: Barcelona) I started writing in Catalan when I was 14; 17 in English.)
Tiny Talk
</>Since I couldn't embrace you,
I came to you across the barrenness
of your virgin words
holding your smiles against my heart,
like wisps of withered flowers.
We shared the silence, as echoes do,
each having a share of colourless sighs,
deprived of the terror and the light,
casting glances to the windows,
where all is left.
You then became touch and sentiment,
and there was a tiny talk between
your twigs and mine, inaudible and childish,
as gentle and complex as it's always been.
