¿Por que te deje?

¿Por que te deje?
¿Por que dejo?
¿Por que me dejo?
Por que recurro
al abandono
precisamente cuando siento
el completo abandono
de mis emociones?
Esta pauta
Es mi salvavidas
La dulce amargura
Que me alimenta
Me da fuerzas
Para regresar
a mi
Centro
Lleno de ecos
De rechazo
Te rechazo
Pero en vano
Al fin me quedo sola
Con mi indiferencia
una
por siempre inflexible
aunque la trate de negar.

Frida Kahlo Poem Dedicated to Diego Rivera

(Translation by Claudia Rodriguez) In saliva on the paper in the eclipse. In all the lines in all the colors in all the jars in my chest outside, inside in the inkwell in the difficulties in writing in the wonderment of my eyes in the last moons of the sun (the sun doesn’t have any moons) in everything To say in everything is imbecile and magnificent. Diego in my urine- Diego in my mouth- in my heart, in my madness, in my dream, in the blotting paper- in the tip of the pen, in the pencils- in the landscapes- in the food- in metal- in my imagination. In my sickness- in the ruptures- in his lapels—in his eyes-in his mouth-in his lie. Kahlo, Frida. in “Frida el pincel de la angustia. Zamora, Martha. La Herradura, Mexico. 1987.

You were drawn in even though the energy doesn’t completely mirror your experiences. It’s is still magical, transformative and impacting to fight for your beliefs and your values, to see so many people fight against injustices fills me with hope for humanity. I feel human again, am reminded that I am part of the human race. I’m embarrassed to say it, but I feel heroic, the way they always stand on the side of what’s right. 2. I never approach a social justice cause conditionally, do you? Is your political support conditional? Do you go..? Have you gone to a BLM rally and told yourself “alright I’m here, but these bitches better show up when my community puts on a rally!” Do you sign a petition advocating for LBGT rights and think “ok, but when my ass is getting discriminated against, y’all p

Pillars that many wish they could twirl around- like some carefree stripper we   know you want this! We are a lusty kind of love. Loving ourselves is loving our community archiving its beauty in the poetry we speak and in the portraits we create. Line by line recording the shades and shadows in the lives of our brown gente magagandang tao. Because loving our community is loving ourselves. Our love is promising like the trunks that are your arms malakas promising comfort, security and love when they wrap around me.
