el cuerpo depués de todo
Valeria Castro
The Body After All
The harshness of a reality close to the wild
Being alert, aware, and waiting for something to happen
How does the body feel after all
And even more knowing it was never loud
A thought that doesn't fit in language
The legacy that the waves haven't taken away
How does the body feel after all
It trembles, wants to grow strong
And still doesn't know how
Migrating heart
Searching in others' affection for a way to save itself
But not cowardly
Trying to hold up the weight somehow
Dagger in the mirror
A handful of insecurities
That no one can lighten
And I hope the bare skin is looked at with tenderness
When one can't
Feeling present, human, and collective
The generalized female story
How does the body feel after all
That feels and suffers in another way
Migrating heart
Searching in others' affection for a way to save itself
But not cowardly
Trying to hold up the weight somehow
Dagger in the mirror
A handful of insecurities
That no one can lighten
And I hope the bare skin is looked at with tenderness
When one can't
Dagger in the mirror
A handful of insecurities
That no one can lighten
And I hope the bare skin is looked at with tenderness
When one can't
When one can't
When one can't
