La palabra escribe/The word writes

La palabra escribe,

 se reescribe,

se mira al espejo,

reconoce sus faltas

de ortografía,

redacción elemental,

corrige, corrige,

hasta quedar exhausta,

sin una tilde,

coma, punto,

interrogante,

delgada,

libre de grasa.

Finalmente,

entra a

a un libro

y respira.

The word writes,
rewrites,
looks at itself in the mirror,
recognizes its spelling mistakes,
elementary drafting errors,
edits, edits,
until it’s exhausted,
without an accent,
comma, period,
question mark,
slim,
free of excess.
Finally,
it enters
a book
and breathes.
