Amada

Inteligente 
soothes wounds
tonta scraped raw.

Competente 
erases bruises
inútil tattooed black.

Bonita
covers graffiti
gorda vandalized ugly.

Insultos leave injurious
wounds -- lies dressed
up like truth.

My beloved, crooned,
mi amada, seen in the
twinkle of loving eyes --
may take away the taint --
but stains and scars remain
proving how a woman
survives until she thrives.





For my new friend. She shines.
