 <\/p>\n

The sun rises on grated brick<\/span><\/p>\n

As I skip<\/span><\/p>\n

To the click <\/span><\/p>\n

And beat of my feet <\/span><\/p>\n

Placed within my shoes made by an Indian woman<\/span><\/p>\n

Who is just like you.<\/span><\/p>\n

I carry a stone of green, malachite.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s used so that my heart\u2019s passion may be seen<\/span><\/p>\n

By anyone or anything who tries to intervene<\/span><\/p>\n

I am fuerte, strong.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

I am in Chile, but not for long.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I wait for the metro and clutch the bracelet <\/span><\/p>\n

That I purchased in a Russian park made of garnet.<\/span><\/p>\n

My jeans from Holland hug my thighs tight<\/span><\/p>\n

As if to keep my warmth safe from another\u2019s intentions, dare if they might.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am fuerte, strong.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

I am in Chile, but not for long.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I travel in the physical, my exterior shows,<\/span><\/p>\n

In my clothes and accessories, all the places I\u2019ve known.<\/span><\/p>\n

But my heart is what carries <\/span><\/p>\n

All that I\u2019ve seen<\/span><\/p>\n

From mountains to cities, <\/span><\/p>\n

My memory\u2019s pristine.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am fuerte, strong.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

I am on Earth, but not for long.<\/span><\/p>\n
