touch the midnight blue
Indigo sky
White wash
Yellow walls
flowers in pots
large terracotta clay
Rain clouds
in the distance
hang over the tips
of the monte alban
Mountain top 9/6/98
minutes away
clouds puff
sun shines in and out
over and under
playing games with me
hide and go seek
I remember all this
colors
solid clear feeling
Walking bouncing
through the same
500 year ago streets
walkways
solid firm in place
the mind once lost
firm in place during
all those Oaxaca days
remembering
lost me found me
in the 5 peso gardenia bouquet
fragrance of the white petals
surrounds me
pushed by the sunset's breeze
through the zocalo spaces
Gardenia breeze
moves me to dance
once hesitant
now jiggles
across new floors
time to free the heart
to go to its place
without guilt
legs hips shoulders
breasts free
filled with the music
vibrations of my islands
(finding) my Puerto Rico
in Oaxaca ---- nights
memories, circles around
my intimate spaces
remember the bright
penetrating star
thinking about the return of
a thousand miles away nights + days
last stars
and fingers
dreaming in a bed of
Jorge's hair
soft as feathers
as the clouds
goodbye touches
and no goodbye moon in Oaxaca
I don't can't remember the moon
I said I can't remember
Oaxaca en el verano del 98 fue un escape de mi vida en fildelfia de mi vida como madre de mi vida en otra relacion destructiva y demasiado larga.
Recuerdo que mi hermana y yo no estabamos bien. Ella estaba cuidando a Damani que tenia 6 anyos. Cuando la llamo collect ella estaba furiosa. Yo no podia llamar directo porque no habia un telefono en el cuarto. Algo no estaba bien y me dio con miedo. Me hizo sentir tan mal que no confiaba en ella para cuidar al nene. Pase el dia con tristeza y miedo de que Damani no iba estar bien. Al fin Evelyn y Paul fue a buscarlo.
