about

feat. Mid Atlantic Rift
Art by Anders Villalta

lyrics

A secret travels through the holes in my ears.
It whistles, whispers,
calls my bluff.

Knowingly tutting, “ay chique, chicx, deja la o.”

My metaphorical sister, queerricua,
gave me stones so that I could stand.
Or nails for the holes in my ears
so that I could adorn a wall
like a piece of art.

Se vaciaron una noche precaria,
ahumada, nublada.

Metaphorical tear droplets,
water condensed on metaphorical glass
line / inch up.

The whistling, whispering
grows faint.
Hooks and stones plug up,
hug my lobes.
Knowingly
tutting
“ay chique, chicx

Welcome home.”
