The Chapbook

For Cherríe

  • familia
  • transness

I am notYour daughterThe apple that slippedThrough your browncalloused mouthWas never meantFor me

But I seeYouWithin meOur vision cloudedBy the heartacheDe nuestra MadreGritando¿Por que?¿Por que?¿Por que?”Why did theyTakemy Daughters?

NacíWith a bodyThat betrayed meMi india&My gender@ oddsThere is no factory settingBut they told meI was builtWrong

And soDo youPeroYo sí séQue somosHermanasBecause who elseCould seeInsideMy queer brown (trans) womanHeart?
