FollowI write in English about things that happen in Spanish, in two countries at once. Immigration is the condition — poetry is how I hold both selves together without having to choose.

I have the papers now
they're in a drawer
i know exactly where
i look at them sometimes
not to check they're real
just to confirm the fact of them

My mother's kitchen smells like a country
i left behind
when she cooks
i'm there again
for as long as the smell lasts

I dream in two languages now
which one depends on what i'm dreaming about
love: spanish
fear: english
most things: both at once

I have two countries now
and belong to both
and neither
which is a specific kind of loneliness
that has a specific kind of beauty to it too
