The Selected Poems of Rosario Castellanos by Cecilia Vicuña
5.0
Beyond my skin, deep in
my bones, I have loved.
Beyond my mouth and its words,
beyond the knot of my tormented sex.
I will not die of sickness
or old age, of anguish or of tiredness.
I will die of love, surrender
to the deepest lap.
I will never be ashamed of these empty hands
or of this hermetic cell they call Rosario.
On the lips of the wind I shall be called
a tree of many birds.
