Toy story
Lo recuerdo: me miraba
altanera desde la cima
de un G.I. Joe.
No pude matarla.
Aquella caja
no era su ataúd.
Recuerdo el día que descubrí
una cucaracha
en el baúl de los juguetes
y supe que era tiempo
de crecer.

Toy story
I remember: she looked at me
haughty from the top of
a G.I. Joe.
I couldn't kill her.
That box
wasn't her coffin.
I remember the day I discovered
a cockroach
in the toys' trunk
and knew it was time
to grow up.
