In Spanish, \u201cto birth\u201d is translated as \u201cdar a luz.\u201d
\nHow poetic\u2014to give someone light,
\na slice of sun as they exit mother\u2019s earth.
\nAt 23, I\u2019m having dinner with our parents
\nwhen Pap\u00e1 asks Do you ever wonder
\nwhat it would be like\u2014not being alone?
\nI\u2019ve already devoured quincexpired prayer:
\nDear God, please give me a sibling.
\nI only choose to answer, Sometimes.
\nBy the look on Mom\u2019s face, I know\u2014
\nI wasn\u2019t meant to be alone.
\nExcept if you\u2019d lived, I wouldn\u2019t be at all.
\nYou were the silence of mother\u2019s faith
\nand I was the song that ended you.
\nTenga esta luz hermane.
\nLet me write you into something I can hold.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
