It's been a long time since I write a tanka, but it came out in Spanish. I have translated it but it is really not the same if I can't use the Spanish name of the tree.

This tanka is based on a line from Sylvia Plath's poem "Elm,"
and it is dedicated to Willie Miranda Marin.


sufrió las atrocidades
de las puestas del sol
sin ser ceiba
detenido frente al espejo
se deleita en lo oculto
