Twirling Book Princess

Tía is a woman woven of miracles;
the reason people who are afraid of her
& her magic
still call for the worst emergencies

is because Tía’s a woman who speaks to
the dead,
who negotiates with spirits, who loosens their fingers
when they clutch around the neck of
someone she wants to live-

It doesn’t always work – Ik now
personally
sometimes Tía is too late; sometimes the request too great
