Si se termina el amarillo
con qué vamos a hacer el pan?
If yellow ends
what can we use for making bread?
Remember how she walked toward us
smiling? Both her hands,
her arms dancing us into her hug.

Cuántas abejas tiene el dia?
How many bees in a day?
To be or not to be — that
we don't choose. We are gleaned
by what is welcomed everywhere.

Pero por qué no se convence
el Jueves de ir después del Viernes?
But why can't Thursday
decide to come after Friday?
One year ago were that to have happened
she might have lived one more day
& learned what she needed to save her life.

Cómo logró su libertad
la bicicleta abandonada?
How did the abandoned bicycle
gain its freedom?
Not one but two bicycles —
hers & Blue's.
You don't think he's ridden since, do you?

Es verdad que en el hormiguero
los sueños son obligatorios?
Is it true in anthills
you must dream?
Anthills are where we gather
& work to remember —
all together we remember her by dreaming.
