Luz, Luz, Light

A free verse poem by Cecilia Duran Torres

 

Language is politicized through the body.

 

A Spaniard speaking castellano is perceived differently from

A white Latinx person speaking Spanish is perceived differently from

An indigenous Latinx person speaking Spanish is perceived differently from

An indigenous Latinx person speaking their native language is perceived differently from

An afro-latinx person speaking Spanish is perceived differently.
