New poem published by WWINI member in prestigious magazine
Dear all
Just to let you know about the success of one of our network members. Cristina Aguilera, orginally from Argentina and now living in Tralee, has had a poem, “Come to my wet side …”, published in the latest issue of The Shop, Issue No 27, Summer 2008. The Shop is a very fine magazine and extremely difficult to get into, as I know myself! Cristina has kindly agreed to me reproducing the poem here.
If other network members have any good news to pass on, just let us know!
all the best

Come to my wet side …
Come to my wet side …
come and know the Lorca, Machado.
Come to my wet side…
That I speak the language of Cervantes
That my body is writing in Spanish
But wants to be loved by you…
My sea skin Irishman.
Come to my wet side…
And ride the wild mare of the Pampas
Come to my wet side…
Cross the Atlantic ocean…
And make paths in my body…
Build with your hands,
Build with your lips…
Build with your rustic tender…
Transform my body,
Transform my mood…
Put your seeds in my womb.
Come to my wet side….
In my body made of tango
Come to my wet side…
The day that you love me…
And stay with me.
Cristina Aguilera
