Te regalo mi lengua
So that you can use it
On Thanksgiving
Te regalo mi lengua
So that you can wear it
Like a pearl necklace
Bien fancy como la tia Lourdes
Vieja boracha
I give you my tongue
So that you can charm the snakes
And hide them in your maletas
I give you my tongue
So that you can tell people our stories
That are buried in that tomb of a throat
very nice..
ReplyDeleteThank you for reading, Sonny ;-)
ReplyDeletethank you. if only i could use my own, the regalo i keep in my maleta with the other snakes. i liked this poem of yours as it is similar to something i would like to write, though i am not sure who is la tia lourdes.
