chilean poet, pedagogue, lesbian, rebel, gabriela mistral, who should be remembered not only as an female icon of chilean literature (as opposition of neruda, who was a rapist, abuser and dead beat father) but as a woman who loved another woman, despite being forced in a asexual box by men who couldn't accept such an incredible woman not being straight.
the woman who gained a nobel in literature, who wasn't appreciated by her own country because she was a woman.
I remember her, today and ever.

Many years from now, when I am a little mound of silent dust, play with me, with the earth of my heart and my bones. I had rather be dust that you play with on the country roads. Pound me, because I have been yours. Scatter me, as I did you. Stomp me because I never gave you truth entire and beauty whole. O, I mean, sing and run above me that I might kiss your precious footprints. Say a pretty verse when you have me in your hands, and I will run with pleasure through your fingers.
Gabriela Mistral, from Selected Poems of Gabriela Mistral; “For Children”
