the letter you sent me. I tried to memorize each word
as I heard them join hands
and make sentences, whist being read aloud.
I am sure that you must know
I cannot read myself. That's why I must keep inside
me, all that I wish to carry,
why it cannot be forgotten.
if only I could write
the letter I wish to send you. About what it means
to be a girl in my country
and the messages, sent with this form of birth.
I am sure that you would read it
most nights at least. Then it would be inside of
you, the story I have to share,
and it would not be forgotten.
