One of the finest poets of the day

One of the finest poets of the day has brought into the world yet another masterpiece. First, we will share an earlier example of her Spanish-language oeuvre, then her latest work on the theme of "Autumn". Sit back, because you are in for a treat.

La Sangre

Yo no soy un café. [I am not a café.]
Sin embargo hay personas que me persiguen a todas partes [However, there are people following me everywhere]
Buscando algo de beber. [Looking for something to drink.]
Este líquido en mis venas [This liquid in my veins]
No es expresso, [Is not espresso,]
¡Malditos vampiros! [Damned vampires!]

Las Hojas

Paseo por el jardín [I walk in the garden]
Y veo las hojas caer. [And watch the leaves fall.]
Hay una pila de hojas muertas [There is a pile of dead leaves]
Que me recuerda mi infancia. [Which reminds me of my childhood.]
Yo salto sobre las hojas [I jump onto the leaves]
Y aterrizo junto a un cuerpo muerto [And land next to a dead body]
Con marcas de mordadura en el cuello. [With bitemarks on its neck.]
¡Malditos vampiros! [Damned vampires!]
