-
Purple-pink nails
Lips flicker to blue
Gasp for air
Born of asthmaAnd clubfoot, feet
Twisted, bent
Inverted inward
Downward.
A tía told mom
it is God’s will to accept
That I was 1 of 1000 chosen ones.
But, amá decided to defy
God’s plan, thank god.Anesthesia
Tender skin
Pierced through.
Major foot reconstruction
Tiny white cast
with pins holding my foot
in place.The latest Los Bukis song
emanates from dad’s stereo.
I cried to the rhythm
of mucus production
and nostrils widening
Tortured feet
set on fire
by Hernán Cortés.
My breathing stops
until shaken by amá.
Three red tunas appear
from the thorny nopal, now sprouting
from our foreheads
A brown eagle
devours a serpent
towards us.Birth of a new ending / I was resurrected again.
