I was the sin,
a wild horse galloping
from the horizon --
everything I saw
was spoken into her ear

Sergio Ortiz
Chinese Translation (Traditional)
我有罪，
像是脫韁野馬從地平線
奔騰而來 --
我所看到的一切
都在她耳邊訴說
Chinese Translation (Simplified)
我有罪，
像是脱韁野马从地平线
奔腾而来--
我所看到的一切
都在她耳边诉说
Bio Sketch
Sergio Ortiz is a retired educator. Flutter Press released his first two chapbooks, At the Tail End of Dusk, and Bedbugs in My Mattress. Ronin Press released his third chapbook: topography of a desire. Avanticular Press released his first photographic chapbook: The Sugarcane Harvest. He is a three-time nominee for the Sundress Best of the Web Anthology and a two-time Pushcart nominee.
Combined with religious connotations in L1, Sergio's opening simile gives a fresh take on relationships (between desire and experience).
