I read her name for the first time like the thousandth time<\/span>
\nfeel it curling on my tongue<\/span>
\nmaking a home where mine never seemed to fit<\/span><\/p>\n

Malinche<\/span><\/p>\n

her heart beats a moment in my chest<\/span>
\nand I feel her bonds\u2019 ghost on my wrist<\/span>
\nwhispering surrender<\/span>
\ndame dame dame tu sangre<\/span><\/p>\n

Malinche<\/span><\/p>\n

I will hold it safe<\/span>
\ntucked in the right hollow of my chest<\/span>
\nnestled in the dreams of my mother\u2019s mother\u2019s mother<\/span>
\nwomen shackled by illusory choice<\/span>
\nno entend\u00ed hasta ahora<\/span><\/p>\n

hasta t\u00fa, <\/span>Malinche<\/span><\/p>\n

Yo s\u00e9 el precio que tuviste que pagar<\/span>
\nI taste it in the copper stream flooding my tongue<\/span>
\nas I run, your heart pumps into me this iron will<\/span>
\nI did not know it was your coraz\u00f3n I ran with<\/span>
\nHalf a millennium between us<\/span>
\nRising smoke to clear the underbrush<\/span>
\ndime c\u00f3mo vivir as\u00ed<\/span>
\nsentada en las llamas<\/span>
\nespa\u00f1oles on the horizon<\/span>
\nhombres a tu espalda<\/span>
\nand a choice never yours to make<\/span><\/p>\n
