--

After returning to northern New York after a year in Spain, I wrote this poem about my rural existence in the language still in my head, Spanish. A few years after that, in New York City, I asked my friend, the Spanish designer and artist Maria Flores Galindo, if she would read the poem for me. A couple years after that, I went home and shot the rural scenes on Super 8 film and created this piece.

NOCHE

Pensaba algún día que iba a pintar mi pelo rubio

Pero ahora quiero dejarlo con las canas prematuras

Morena y oscura con rayas de color luna

Yo soy chica del rio

Y mujer de la luna

El amor viene desde dentro

Y no lo busco afuera
