I want to be like the waves on the sea, ... like the clouds in the wind, but I'm me. One day I'll jump Out of my skin. I'll shake the sky like a hundred violins.
poem she read for her aunt.
One day I'll own my own house, but I won't ... forget who I am or where I came from. Passing bums will ask, Can I come in? I'll offer them the attic, ask them to stay, because I know how it is to be without a house.
I would like to baptize myself under a new name, ... a name more like the real me, the one nobody sees. Esperanza as Lisandra or Maritza or Zeze the X. Yes. Something like Zeze the X will do.
about her name
In English my name means hope. In Spanish it means ... too many letters. It means sadness, it means waiting. It is like the number nine. A muddy color. It is the Mexican records my father plays on Sunday mornings when he is shaving, songs like sobbing.
