My Voice Will Weigh On You By Irma Pineda
Translated By Wendy Call
My voice will weigh on you
like a rope hanging from your neck
My voice will be the vulture
that patrols your rotting body
and remains tattooed
among the sounds in your mind
so that you can’t sleep
because you clawed the light
from our grandparents’ eyes
Summary
