Resilience
Resilience
by Fernanda Chima
To the North with the iced head: egotistical, explosive.
I was born in the navel of the moon. (1)
To the South with feet afired: hurried and thorny.
I was born from Mother Earth and Father Rain.
They gave me hands to work, skin to feel and wings to soar.
Their freedom for a gateway. From the nest of crime, a spell.
A compass, passed down, led me East and West.
My sandals got broken, my backpack stolen.
Yet every time I tempt to leave all behind, the wind
whispers:
Resist.
Resiliencia
por Fernanda Chima
Collindando al Norte con la cabeza helada: ególatra, explosiva
Yo nacà del ombligo de la Luna. (1)
Las fronteras al Sur con pies en llamas: presurosos y espinosos.
Nacà de Madre Tierra y de Padre Tláloc.
Me hicieron manos para trabajar, piel para sentir y alas para despegar.
Su libertad por una oportunidad. Del crimen, un hechizo protector.
La brújula de mis antepasados, me guÃo al Este y al Oeste.
Se rompieron mis huaraches, se robaron mi morral.
Pero cuando quiero abandonar, el viento siempre
susurrra:
Resiste.
