You need to look it up to see if you can find it, however someone may come along that just happens to know. But like others were saying on another post of yours similar to this one, It could be made up. - rac1, Nov 26, 2016
Do you have the poem, or a link so we can look at the whole thing in context? - rac1, Nov 26, 2016
I think you might mean, "huella." - rac1, Nov 26, 2016
I couldn't find it in the Rae or WordRef. - rac1, Nov 26, 2016
I already looked it up and couldn't find anything. I know the poet is imitating the Puerto Rican jibaro diaialect in his poems. This is from a hard copy version of his poem " Los Caminos de la Sombra" - donrono, Nov 26, 2016
" Huella " makes sense since it means footprint, but the poet did misspell it on purpose as "hueya" - donrono, Nov 26, 2016

Huella means "paw print. But hueya is not a word.

Since the poet is playing with the language, I suppose he's referring to "huella". - donrono, Dec 3, 2016
