La Nevada
Mi anhelo por ti es como la nieve–
cae levemente, pero acumula cada momento
con la intención de quedarse un rato.
Me enfrías los huesos y los puntas de los dedos,
y me haces ansiar el calor de tu aliento,
que es visible en el aire frío y me recuerda a
espirar.

The Snowfall
My longing for you is like the snow-
it falls lightly, but accumulates every moment
with the intention of staying a while.
You chill my bones and my fingertips,
and make me crave the warmth of your breath,
which is visible in the cold air and reminds me
to exhale.
