Genesis Woman
Museum Musings, Jan 2025, The Cheech Marin Center for Chicano Art & Culture, 100 words
You! I knew it was you! You’re obsessed with her too! With her supposed sins, with how the flames lick her hips as temptation once did.
Death loves and pulls at her. La Virgen holds her hand and shares her shawl. A brown hand reaches for her who is only so glad to be mistaken for a god.
A woman is framed for a woman is all she is, flawed and going to hell with a saint alongside her.
The snake wraps around her once again and she is not scared.
Blessed to witness, we defy and do not regret.

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.
