Poem: "Radar en la tormenta" by Alfredo Veirave (an Argentinean poet that I am writing about in my dissertation)
Photo: "Break in the Storm" by me



Radar en la tormenta


Y alguna vez, no siempre, guiado por el radar
el poema aterriza en la pista, a ciegas,
(entre relámpagos)
carretea bajo la lluvia, y al detener sus turbinas,
descienden
de él, pasajeros aliviados de la muerte: las palabras.

"Break in the Storm"

Radar in the storm (my poor translation)

And at times, not always, guided by radar
the poem lands on the runway, blindly,
(in the midst of lightning)
taxis in the rain, and when the turbines stop,
from it emerge
passengers relieved from death: the words.
