Self-portrait

Author: Magdalena Piñeyro
Translator: Sol Tovar

My round face, my strong hands,
my mother's legacy.
My big body, my broad shoulders,
my father's legacy.
My tall, graceful body,
my grandfather's legacy.
My love of cooking and food,
my grandmother's legacy.

Hating myself meant hating my roots.

The continuous lines
were vanishing after my rejection.

I was the thief of my own historical memory.
