Friend of my parents, now also mine.
-: I started to get to know you from my mother's womb, then by email and now in person.
A monk in his blanket,
Dressed in turquoise.
Eyes bleary after a long meditation,
Woke up covered in snow.
Shakes himself off and puts on a scarf,
Returned to the mountain and his human skin.
Stands up and puts on his sandals.
Walks down the slope,
All covered in snow,
A coyote looks at him,
The monk returns the greeting,
Continues.
Amiga de mis padres, hoy también mía.
-: I started to get to know you from the belly of my mother, then by email and now in person.
