PPA comes full circle

...well, not really.

Last week I translated Elly Sherman's poem Full Circle into Proto Pekemí-Aescal, as an exercise to build up some vocabulary to provide examples to its grammar (in-progress). Here it is:

Original Poem:
I am made of
Sun Fire
Dinosaur Dust
Star Light
Volcano Flames
Unknown Lives
Comet Tails
And all the future
Beasts and things
Shall also be
Me.

I took the poem from a translation challenge held at the ZBB before I joined.
