My sister dresses me in yellow.
“You have to be strong”
She feeds me honey, vanilla, piña, y mango.
“Don’t cry for no man”
She bathes me in bodak yellow’s affirmations.
“And I’m quick cut a niqqa off so don’t get comfortable”
She buys me flowers and a pastelito.
“Do you want un jugito?”
She gifts me the sun
She gifts me calm
She gifts me a happy
She reminds me of
Grandma’s,
Mom’s,
And her wisdom:
“Son todos iguales”
“No vale la pena”
“Let it go”
