Molasses

 Patience is not my strong suit anymore.

And here, time is sticky and dark, like molasses 

Creeping down ever so slowly

Asphyxiating

Heaviness gathering like dust 

One more unbearable minute,

(or perhaps, a year?) in silence 

And senseless sweetness.

Recommendation letter

 There is magic in seeing one's self in the eyes of someone who loves us, who believes in us.

There is power in stripping from the ego and tapping into my true self, recognizing my own potential 

2025-07-18

 Trying to compress the air that I am breathing before it gets to my lungs, so it won’t hurt 

Listening to “the silence” of the rain drops fall.

The wind moans. But at least cicadas and birds are not screaming again tonight. Like every other night.

Words hurt.

No truths, just hurtful phrases.

I see and I pretend not to see. Forgotten. 

Lost in the quietness 

of the rain.

Comer

Pez quiere comer pez que nada, 

entonces pez vuela, 

ave quiere comer pez que vuela, 

entonces pez nada, 

pez grande quiere comer, 

ave quiere comer pez,

pequeño pez volador se sumerge, 

pez grande intenta comer ave, 

ave intenta comer pez, 

pequeño pez volador escapa, 

todos quieren comer a todos, 

es una guerra allá afuera...

y también aquí adentro 

del mar 

salado.

Pez volador vs. Depredadores

Desert

 If I ever get lost in the red mountains of the desert, don’t come trying to find me. For most certainly, death has found me first and I don’t want her to find you in this hot dry passage, don’t come find death. I don’t want you to see my shrunken, sunburnt, dead body lying down in this brown crystal tomb. 

I know the desert is ungrateful. It’s a place that can curse you back if you but raise your tone at it in a fit of rage from thirst.

The heat of the desert is no place to be by yourself. It is best to stay in your home. It is best to forget the desert. Best to forget me.

Love and friendship

 May your loved ones never doubt how much you love them 

May they have a “yes” for you most of the time 

May your life be boring good, except when you’re going  on adventures and be present and together with the ones you are together.

Even if we’re far away, I want to call myself your friend.

I will be your sunshine whenever, you can talk to me, I will listen.

I wish you all the love you’re giving and I’ll give you as much friendship as you give me.

For love and friendship hold this life together

Grown-up

 Circe says I've become a "señora de las lomas"

But I say I am more like the adult my childhood self would have wanted me to be:

Coloring pages till late, eating donuts for breakfast, playing in the snow in winter and in the water in summer, listening to music, watching The Dukes of Hazzard.

Yeah, I am a really cool girl. Bring me back to the 1980s. Y ¡que viva el sur!
