all she wanted::todo lo que ella quería
All She wanted
WAS FIND A PLACE TO STRETCH HER BONES
A PLACE TO LENGTHEN HER SMILES
AND SPREAD HER HAIR
A PLACE WHERE HER LEGS COULD WALK
WITHOUT CUTTING AND BRUISING
A PLACE UNCHAINED
SHE WAS BORN OUT OF OCEAN BREATH.
I REMINDED HER;
‘STOP POURING SO MUCH OF YOURSELF
INTO HEARTS THAT HAVE NO ROOM FOR THEMSELVES
DO NOT THIN YOURSELF
BE VAST
YOU DO NOT BRING THE OCEAN TO A RIVER’

You are oceanic
Todo lo que ella quería
Era encontrar un lugar para estirar sus huesos
Un lugar para alargar sus sonrisas
Y extender su pelo
Un lugar donde sus piernas pudiesen caminar
Sin cortarse ni herirse
Un lugar sin cadenas
Ella nació del aliento del océano.
Yo le recordaba;
"Deja de verter tanto de ti
En corazones que no tienen ni siquiera espacio para ellos mismos
No te debilites
Se inmensa
No puede traerse el océano al río"
Estás oceánica
