Noèlia Díaz Vicedo

4

Far away, beyond the horizon

The Voice of a child calls the moon,

It is your damn heart that calls yourself Love

That spins a web of lies.

I have been víctim and guilty,

And a piece of ephemeral, vulnerable flesh.

But now I will say that this woman

That lives and writes will seize the word

And will put her weaving to one side

And will turn the burden into the song

Of a disposessed mermaid.
