Poesia: La Mujer de Hoy

EscribΓ­ este poema en Octubre del 2002 acerca del padre de mi hijo mayor. TenΓ­a bastante sentimientos encontrados pero mas que todo tenΓ­a rabia.

La Reina Maria Felix

Yo no soy aquella niΓ±a ingenua
Que tu conocistes
La que dejaba todo por ti
La que creΓ­a en el amor
Que tu le prometΓ­as
La que te amaba
Sin razΓ³n, sin condiciones
Sin enfrentar realidades
Esa soΓ±adora quedo atras
Y esta mujer que ves
Es una mujer desilusionada, realista,
Y pessimista
No cree en nadie que le promete amor
Y se ha vuelto frΓ­a
Todo esto gracias
A tu desgraciada ausencia

Flash Fiction: Passage of Regret

She came in before him into the same house she was at a year ago. She wonders to herself why she‘s there at all. She knows the minute she steps into the room; it will be like welcoming back a ghost into her life. She feels like she has no choice. He offers her a drink, and she gladly takes many, hoping that this will numb the outcome her mindless and impulsive actions have taken her to. She wants to say β€œno” and that she has a boyfriend she wants to be faithful to but knows that now it’s too late. She stops him for a minute after he takes off her shirt and unhooks her bra. She tells him she needs to use the bathroom, and in the bathroom, she writes this. A night she would like to forget.
