She longs to be a Frida

I paint the story of my bones

on flower petals

watered with my muddy blood

wasted on a crowded street by an upside-down cable car.

I write small words

on long bones

fractured by my everlasting pain

disrupting the fluidity of a forever damaged soul.

I threw my self-portrait

between the borderline of a world 

where my dress hangs as a tribute to the skulls and flowers

of my already deceased souls 

and the world of dried ink

scribbling the anonymous pages of my fractured spine.

She longs to be the painter 

of some magnificent self-portraits made of fleshy words:

grand odes to her beloved 

with bushy eyebrows and reddish flowers

crowning the ink-like goddess hair.
