Esta noche sedienta yo me he preguntado
quién eres y quién eres.
Porqué es triste tu carne como un leño apagado
y porqué tienes llena la boca de alfileres.
.
Y despacio, esta noche yo te he separado
como un árbol de amor, de las demás mujeres,
y haciendo de mi sangre un agua he bautizado
con ella tus angustias y placeres.
.
Y le he dicho a la muerte que no puede matarme!
Y le he dicho a la vida que no puede vencerme!
Y le he dicho a la tierra que si logra enterrarme,
a donde ella me entierre tú irás a recogerme!
Y le he dicho a la nada que si logra apagarme,
tú, con tus grandes besos, volverás a encenderme!

Today I lit a candle to remember pain...
11 years ago I felt the biggest pain I have ever felt in my life. To have a loved one pass a way inflicts a deep misery that takes a while to wash out. I believe that is the only pain you can feel that you cannot hold a grudge against anyone. (God?? what's God has to do with it?)
It’s an anger-like feeling that has nothing to do with the departed but with the “what ifs” that come to your head in that moment.
“What if i…? what if you…? What if we…?"
Today I lit a candle to remember how heart warmth with “gallo pinto” made me a better person & taught me the meaning of comfort food. I lit a candle to remember unconditional love. Today I lit a candle for whom took to the grave the last breath of childhood from me. Today I lit a candle to remember the only time that tears really meant something REAL. Today I lit a candle for the woman that gave braveness a real meaning…
