Por Kimberly Willams

 for David Muñoz (1959-2020)


My friend, when I realize
you are gone, have passed,
I panic. I am a house
sparrow caught in a jar


with the lid fastened.  
Your spirit stretched wider

than death. I couldn’t fathom
that you’d ever really go. The zócalo in

San Miguel de Allende couldn’t contain you
or your song the night you joined the trovadores
roving the plaza, and I recorded the spontaneous joy
on your phone. We walked up and down the hills

of Guanajuato together, despite your need for new knees,
and when I made my late-night visit to the panadería for conchas,

you waited outside with the scent of baking bread for company.
Words stayed away for months after you departed, did not appea


for weeks, and still a part of me does not believe because your spirit keeps lengthening
--wider than the pyramids we walked among at 
Teotihuacán. When I think of you gone,

my heart is a trapped sparrow, wings swiping the glass, beady eye glancing beyond. 

Ademas, here is a photo of us. I wish he weren't blinking in it. But anyone who knows David knows that he mostly took the photos, and so they are gone with him as I don't see his family (I live in Australia now). and I only have a couple of us. This one is best for this purpose, I think, because it was in collaboration for Peregrinos.

Gracias por todo,

 

Kimberly
