Somos todo lo que nos ha pasado, todo aquello que nos ha regalado felicidad, aunque también de las lágrimas que hemos obsequiado al viento.

Somos la memoria, la nostalgia, la melancolía de todo aquello que hemos experimentado, que hemos vivido en años.

Somos ese montón de sueños, quimeras, ensueños, ilusiones de formas inconstantes e incluso esos espejos rotos que nos dejaron con la herida sangrante y una cicatriz que aún supura.

I too, someday, will end, & this forgetting is a kind of freedom.

For Amaranta Gómez Regalado, Muxe is a gender, not an indigenous group

Thanks for making me aware. Post will be edited shortly.

I sense the shipwreck, my human body sloughed off, cast away, sunbleached & bonewhite driftwood on a beach where my children will gather around the wreckage as it singes & cracks, into wind, ashes, everything I returned to, clung to, there & there & there, painting their faces, their empty hands, there, there.
