Tula

I seize the kitchen

as my own.

Chop, stir, scribble—

my punishment

is a blessing of privacy.

Mamá hardly ever steps into

the smoke, so I feel free

to keep my new pages,

instead of feeding them

to hungry flames.

When I ask my brother for help,

he agrees to hide my words in his room.

If Mamá finds the bundles of paper,

Manuel can pretend that my legends

are his. No one ever objects

to strange tales written

by a boy.

Tula

Caridad’s act of independence

inspires me, just as my turtle tale

influenced her.
