to pretend
that nature can be commanded.
My hair at least always knew,
resisting orders to stay straight.
My sweetheart knows
I’m something of a sister to a selkie,
with two worlds running in my veins.
Fifty years is too long
to go without embracing
the chaotic beauty of my colors.
It’s too long to deny
the stories that want to flow,
especially when I’ve found
someone who wants to listen to them.
Song Choice: Caotica Belleza by Esteman ft Natalia Lafourcade A translation of the lyrics can be found here.
