Estenies la roba al terrat

You were hanging clothes out on the terrace,
your shapely arms were dripping;
at your feet the trickles spread,
each pearl stretching a path along the tiles.

And the chill trailed along your neck and breast
speeding your chore:

whenever the sun broke clear,
you relished its warm surge.
