Translation Interpretation

to carry across
    an impossible ask
                        tis true
    culture&custom
        complex&confound
                            the task
equvlence&valence
         in sound&sequence
         separate
            one from the other
lost in translation
          twas ever thus
          oftimes cadence
                       hold the key
eloquence
           all barriers can unfree
literal or equivalent
              paraphrase or better yet
                                           imitate
helps understanding
                          to relate
as
   poetics again
                   reformulate
