In a solitary life there are rare moments when another soul dips near yours as stars brush the earth

flying backwards, slipping into spaces you remember and left behind

Close Your Eyes, Lie in My Arms

Algo para mi papá

we exist between walls and in wooden frames

To know my mother and only know her name feels like not knowing myself at all, to know my mother and to know her heartbeat feels like knowing her warmth

What You Gave, I Owe

cradled by clouds and held in mama’s tears

Discovering the sun on earth
