“I keep walking in this city, questioning where I am,while I imagine my ancestors navigating this land,when they used the rivers to travel, they are now gone. En lugar de tierra o pasto,solo hay banquetas de asfaltoen ciudades que siguen una estructura donde no pertenezco. It feels that I am always in between,like in the middle is where I have been,looking for the land that I can call home. Sigo viendo para abajoseparade, juzgade y ahogadeen la ciudad que me dice a donde navegue. Being labelled as an immigrant only, caring for my baggage lonely,and having family who doesn’t understand me at all. Yo he estado yendo de un lugar a otro tratando de encontrar donde los ríos existíany cuando estos acontecimientos ocurran mis monumentos nacerían. This wonderful happening, where the water left marks,trying to find the land underneath the blocks,like me trying to find my home.”
