"Mi hermana"


Piercing eyes look through mirror’s black edge,

Eyes of yellow-green, half-dollar size

Knowing eyes.

Black as the depth of dark night,

-The leopard froze as I froze,

Poised to pounce.

Then, in an instant, an elegant woman stood in her place,

Hair flowing off her face,

A breeze blowing, giving me gooseflesh.

She closed the distance between us,

And lightly touched my face.

“Mi hermana,” she said. “Mi hermana!”

-My sister. My sister.
