Compañera

With open arms we say goodbye
With open and tangled arms
In steel ropes, tangled
Arms open and eyes still

You didn't know how to silence my silence
I didn't know how to tie myself to your hands
I didn't manage to tell you to wait for me
And upon knowing you were saying goodbye

But I was able to grow little by little
In the brightness of your crescent moon
I was always embracing you from within
More mature each time and less broken

Companion we became, we became each other
In the sweet dark cell of your womb

We joined with extended arms
Your wrists tied with mine
With the tiny ties of hands
Nine months enclosed rebellion.
