Timeless/ Poem
Timeless
I am a woman who walks through time
my feet keep the thorns
and the wisdom of the paths
My hair preserves the smell of the grass
And the color of the prairies
Healer with traces of magic in my hands
of a time without permission to attend
births and seals wounds
In the dawn, scars still burn
marks of the bonfire of dead centuries
Sometimes my words intersect
with the voice of my ancestors
repeating who I am or what I ought to be
under the rain of every single day
I get rid of my weariness, with the footprints
of women of all times
having over this shattered body
the duty of seduction
Put the black dress, and your lipstick on
seduce me, lose some pounds, cinch your waist
put on high heels,be discreet when you laugh
smooth out your wrinkles
When you come to work, Carmina
wear loose clothing
hide your breast, your hips!
Sometimes, when I walk the city
empty of gazes, and the night smells like tiredness
mine, are the drops of water running down my back
A deep sigh returns to me the questions
Who in this afternoon looks at you when I look at you?
who will love you in me tonight
when the words cease?
From the book Timeless.
Is in English and Spanish.
