Un poema a mi ni\u00f1a interna.<\/h2>

A prop\u00f3sito del d\u00eda del ni\u00f1o, me puse a ver los \u00e1lbumes de fotos en casa de mis padres. Encontr\u00e9 muchas fotos m\u00edas de peque\u00f1a<\/strong>, con gestos perfectos para stickers de WhatsApp. Fotos en pi\u00f1atas, fotos de vacaciones, fotos con nuestra primera computadora de escritorio.<\/p>

<\/div><\/form><\/div><\/div>

Fotos con las abuelas, fotos con mis primas, fotos con mis padres y con mi perrito Puffy. Fotos en las scouts, fotos en el teatro, fotos haciendo todo eso que hac\u00eda para usar mi combustible interno – ll\u00e1mesele TDAH, generadora, metabolismo, o simplemente ser peque\u00f1a, libre y loca<\/strong> (pero no de la barra de Tigres).<\/p>

<\/figure>

Not\u00e9 tambi\u00e9n mi decline emocional. De los ojos pispiretos a la mirada perdida. De la curiosidad infantil a la decepci\u00f3n preadolescente.<\/strong> Podr\u00eda se\u00f1alar el momento o los momentos en los que empez\u00f3 a atenuarse mi alma, a temer el qu\u00e9 dir\u00e1n y a sentirme defectuosa. Infancia como luna en Capricornio, dir\u00eda mi astrologa. O simplemente una mezcla explosiva entre bullying cr\u00f3nico y la carga de ser hija \u00fanica y no decepcionar a mis padres. Quiero abrazar a esa ni\u00f1a y decirle que no es decepci\u00f3n. Que su mera existencia, su curiosidad, su ternura y su flama interna, son un orgullo.<\/strong><\/p>

<\/figure>

A esa ni\u00f1a interna le dedico este poema sobre c\u00f3mo crecimos. Viene originalmente en ingl\u00e9s en Meanwhile<\/a><\/strong> (Mientras Tanto)<\/em>, mi libro debut de poes\u00eda<\/strong> publicado en 2020 por Burning Eye Books.<\/p>

Convirti\u00e9ndome\u00a0<\/h1>

Antes, yo era el sill\u00f3n de mi abuelita,\u00a0viendo telenovelas\u00a0entre concursos y noticias.\u00a0Antes, yo era la cama alta de mi abuelo.\u00a0Era, al mismo tiempo,\u00a0la princesa y el guisante.\u00a0<\/p>

Yo era maceteros de envases de detergente.\u00a0Era sangre y pistolas, comedias picantes,\u00a0el calendario de Laura Le\u00f3n en 1992.\u00a0Yo era el lavadero hecho ba\u00f1era,\u00a0lluvia de aguacates sobre el techo.\u00a0Era libros polvorosos sobre historia espa\u00f1ola\u00a0y gruesas revistas sobre familias reales.\u00a0<\/p>

Me convert\u00ed en una muestra de perfume\u00a0rasca-huele en una p\u00e1gina.\u00a0Ocean Dream,\u00a0corona de monta\u00f1as,\u00a0ahogada en cinco tazones diarios de caf\u00e9\u00a0y primeras infatuaciones.\u00a0Me convert\u00ed en un discman,\u00a0los brincos en un CD-R quemado\u00a0y m\u00e1s de cien MP3 en viajes de carretera.\u00a0<\/p>

Me convert\u00ed en siniestra,\u00a0a\u00fan con sabor a beb\u00e9.\u00a0Memorias suprimidas,\u00a0pijamadas,\u00a0120 Minutos.\u00a0<\/p>

Me convert\u00ed en 1998,\u00a0me convert\u00ed en el 2001,\u00a0me convert\u00ed en las Torres Gemelas y King\u2019s Cross St Pancras.\u00a0<\/p>

Ya no fui quien deb\u00ed haber sido\u00a0y la cama se hizo m\u00e1s peque\u00f1a.\u00a0Sin flores,\u00a0sin maceteros detergentes,\u00a0sin revistas.<\/p>
