Ode to Mexico  by Andrea Aliseda 

(English Version)

I close my eyes and see 

myself 

perched at the steps 

of an old cathedral 

the air, 

abundant and thick; 

a paradise for the senses, 

as I cradle calla lilies 

in the fold of my arms 

I have a little coffee 

to linger in the poetry of the bugambilias outside the home of the late 

Gael García Márquez, 

who rests in peace 

I devour my heart 

gushing of salsa amor 

as if it were a torta 

and lick my fingers 

savoring every last bite 

the united states 

doesn’t taste quite like this

 

(Spanish Version )

cierro los ojos, 

y me veo sentada 

en la entrada 

de un catedral 

el aire, 

pleno y lleno: 

un paraíso para el olfato 

arrullando 

flores de alcatraz 

entre mis brazos 

con un cafecito 

para echarle ojo 

a la poesía de la bugambilia, frente la casa del Don Gael García Márquez, 

que en paz descanse. 

mastico mi corazón, 

escurriendo de salsa amor 

como si fuera torta 

y me chupo los dedos de lo delicioso que está, 

en los estados unidos, no saben cocinar así.
