What I See (Mi Rostro)
Esto es mi rostro,
body creaking,
my wrist twisting,
twisting, twisting, twisting...
corporeal
Sera este mi rostro?
is it the face in reflection shown,
reversed, turned over,
lighting warm?
my hand hangs useless,
eyes connect,
dilation is the only way to keep it out
extras called to set
Motionless, waiting, watching.
You know.
You are.
Another minute detail
as unseemly as it may be
Esto es mi cuerpo,
face, emoting,
my furrowed brow
adding creases, creases, creases...
here.
Sera este mi cuerpo?
is it the body on the floor,
bent, reaching forward,
ceiling bound?
my brow stills,
mouth moves,
silence a fine binding rite
calling extras to set
Motionless, waiting, watching.
You know.
You are.
Stretchmarks silver bright, silver bright,
fingertips sliding rough,
pupil, iris, wide, a set of lenses
standing alone
Another minute detail,
place, position, with care
intergal to the pigment, the hue, the shape
A part of the scene,
not removed,
innate, innate.
(Translation for the spanish: This is my face. This will be my face? This is my body. This will be my body?)
