hope emerges from beyond
and I finally feel a lightness in me
is this what they call healing
is is what they call the power of love

What was your first ever videogame?
Mario on the screen as my brother plays Nintendo
I reach for the control as Mario dies for the second time
my Primo stops me and says this is not a girl’s game
at 7, I sulk at the unfairness of it
I too want to go on adventures in a pixelated reality
but I know better than to say anything
at 7, I’m old enough to understand
it’s best to stay in my Woman’s Place

the breeze kissed my face in Lima as we drove past the ocean
and I was enchanted I was in love
with the place I was born in
with the place of my ancestors
my Peru is beautiful and magnificent
with a rich history of a people who have been conquered,
of a people who have endured –
of a proud people who carry their patriotism in their hearts and bones
and the best part-I get to call this place home

All of the ingredients for a long term love and I fawn
I donβt think Iβve ever here before you
you shower me with consistency, desire, attention and respect
you actually care about how Iβve slept
you know how to reassure me repeatedly
Iβm worthy enough to be loved
and all of my past romantic tragic comedies
were a all practice and experience for you
a real sanctuary to lay me love in

in the dark shadows of the earth
lies the outliers and outcasts
the ones we many times ignore
or only talk about in quiet whispers
we pity them, weβre afraid of them, we avoid them
we donβt want to catch their disease of poverty or insanity
we donβt know how to see their humanity
and honestly it makes us, and not them, the real monsters

in Lima, I never had to tone down my theatrics
everyone was just like me
not filtering what was on their mind
they left no thoughts behind
loud and emotional is seen as normal
passionate is the standard
i never had to reign myself in
I could just be without thinking
without doing any explaining

drove towards the moon, full of uncertainty and ambiguity
Wondering whatβs next for me, tired of being the foundation
tired of acting like I donβt crash out
Drove towards the moon full of uncertainty and ambiguity
trying to manifest something softer and calmer for myself
where Iβm not fighting for survival

I donβt want to work that extra shift but my discover statement
tells me otherwise-
it tells me that once again I’m falling into a world of debt-
for daring to live a life above my means, above my class
and if Iβm not careful I can slip back into poverty status
so Iβll work that extra shift and stop trying to live
a higher class life thatβs not meant for me yet-

I sigh at the horizon in front of me as L.A is under siege again
and this time theyβve declared a state of emergency
I want to avoid the news, turn off my phone for a few days,
lock myself away in a cabin with my boyfriend
somewhere in the appalachian mountains
where I can forget the rest of the world
But I canβt, I canβt, I canβt
I wasnβt raised to look away in the face of injustice
or when the safety of my loved ones are compromised
instead I remain hypervigilant
Always on alert of this administrationβs next dickhead move
hoping itβs enough to keep my loved ones protected
from chaos and destruction
hoping one day this madness will end
I wrote this poem in October of 2022.

in Lima, people sing out loud at the table, in the car
they donβt carry the shame and embarrassment of Americans
they show their happiness, sadness, anger and all of their emotions out loud
unafraid to be cast as emotional and dramatic
they wear badges of passion, grief, anger and love on a prominent place
without caring about what the judgment of others and itβs fucking beautiful

Black cat in the middle of the road in mid october
itβs almost halloween and almost a year since I lost contact with you
Black cat in the middle of the road in mid october
Laufeyβs too little, too late plays on repeat
A sense of guilt hits me wondering what we could have been
Black cat in the middle of the road in mid october
my boyfriend told me Iβm wife material
Iβve resigned myself to the fact there never will be an us
Black cat in the middle of the road in mid october
Time and luck never was on our side
No matter how hard both of us tried
