don’t you forget about me !

Estoy parada a la orilla de la vida,
Como un bálsamo que causa una cerveza sin alcohol con intoxicación grave,
como mi placebo favorito de arma infranqueable,
como un abismo donde todo cabe dentro,
existo yo…
Y lo sé porque soy ese espacio que hay entre el café y mi boca,
el paso entre tierra y mar, el avión que traslada a la memoria de México-Tailandia,
soy ese click entre cámara y momento, soy el ombligo umbilical que une a madre e hijo,
sé que existo porque soy ese recuerdo entre vivos y muertos….



I’m standing at the edge of life,
As a balm that causes a nonalcoholic beer with severe intoxication,
as my favorite placebo of weapon impassable,
as an abyss where everything fits inside,
I exist …
And I know because I am the space between the coffee and my mouth,
the step between earth and ocean,
the plane that moves to the roots of Mexico - Thailand,
that click between camera and a moment,
I am the navel cord that binds mother and son,
know that I exist because I am the memory of living and dead ….
