Invierno

by Jennifer Bishop

Gazing out at the immense darkness,
snow covering the landscape, all white,
serene and peaceful. It's raining now.
Esta lloviendo. Esta lloveindo.
All I hear is the pitter, patter, pitter, patter of the dripping.
Yo quiero gritar.
Winter, so beautiful but sad.
Invierno, asi hermoso pero triste.
I've always disliked winter. It's the snow,
the wind, the cold and the constant darkness that I don't like.
No me gusta invierno.
Snow. It's so beautiful right after it falls, then the plows come along
and ruin it with the plowing and sanding.
