Each of their syllables
floats into the ether
leaving memories
of little talks,
of things not said,
until the letters
separate away.
mother to other
drifting away
other, other-
“Momi, donde esta?”
Father ather
falling further down
at her, at her-
“Papi, quien eres tu?”
They didn’t fall.
They were thrown
to leave me
without words,
to make me soar.
