today the small birds
have flown from my poem;
the ones that wanted to be silver;
that kept me company
through stolid hours.
small leaves are weeping in the winds
the ones that wanted to be gold;
and that, forever
whispered the girl
on the balcony.
or merely on
Lorca Street disowned
and made of moonlight.
will it always be this way?
sighed the small breezes.
that is more than I can say,
the poet sighed;
their sighs together: a small
parachute of flowers...

I would like to translate this poem
For most of us it will always be this way. I wanted to be a golden bird too. Nice work.
