said a melodious voice behind her, and Frida Kahlo made her entrance with a clatter of necklaces, medallions, and rings, rings especially, one on every finger, sometimes two: Laura Daz remembered the incident involving her grandmother Cosima Kelsen and wondered, watching this strange-looking woman enter the studio—black eyebrows, or rather one continuous black eyebrow, braided black hair tied up with wool ribbons, and a wide peasant skirt—whether the Hunk of Papantla hadn’t robbed the rings from Grandmother Cosima just to give them to his lover Frida. The sight of Rivera’s wife had Laura convinced that this was the goddess of transformations she and Grandfather Felipe had discovered in the Veracruz forest, the figure made by the Zapotal people which he had tried to demythologize by turning it into a mere ceiba tree, so that she wouldn’t go on believing in fantasies, a marvelous feminine figure staring at eternity, crisscrossed with belts of seashells and serpents, her head adorned with a crown woven by the forest, ornamented with necklaces and rings and earrings on her arms, nose, ears. No matter what Grandfather had said, a ceiba was more dangerous than a woman.
– A mí también -dijo una voz melodiosa a sus espaldas y Frida Kahlo entró con un estrépito de collares, medallas y anillos, sobre todo un anillo en cada dedo, a veces dos: Laura Díaz recordó el incidente de la abuela Cósima Kelsen y se preguntó, viendo entrar al estudio a la mujer insólita de cejas negras sin cesura, pelo negro trenzado con listones de lana y amplia falda campesina, si el Guapo de Papantla no le había robado los anillos a la abuela Cósima sólo para entregárselos a la amante Frida, pues la aparición de la mujer de Rivera convenció a Laura de que ésta era la diosa de las metamorfosis que ella, junto con el abuelo Felipe, descubrió en medio de la selva veracruzana, la figura de la cultura del Zapotal que el abuelo Felipe Kelsen quiso desmitificar, convirtiéndola en mera ceiba, para que la niña no anduviera creyendo en fantasías…, una maravillosa figura femenina mirando a la eternidad, aderezada con cinturones de caracol y serpiente, tocada con una corona teñida por la selva, adornada de collares y anillos y aretes en brazos, nariz, orejas… La ceiba, a pesar de lo dicho por el abuelo, era más peligrosa que la mujer.
