Needles and threads of different colors A flock of us
all different shades
All (of us) open wide
Flying high and free
We stretch out to each other
The eye, the needle, the passion, the thimble The button from one and the hole from the other
A collage of glances
All with hope
Hand in hand
Connected in silence
Only the light and the union
A forest of glances
All protecting the cloth
One single essence
One collage. One forest. One essence. One Essence.

Aguja e hilos
de diferentes colores
Una bandada de nosotras diferentes tonos todas
Todas abiertas
Volando alto y libres
Nos extendemos unas a otras
-El ojo, la aguja, la pasion, el dedal- -El boton de una y el hoyo de otra-
Un collage de miradas Todas con esperanzas Mano en mano -Conectadas en silencio- -Solo la luz y la union-
Un bosque de miradas
Todas protegiendo la tela
Una sola esencia
Un collage. Un bosque. Una esencia Una esencia.

Tsunami
Tsunami
The murmur of the farce is
a tsunami
The sea pulls back
the property expands
Shellfish for dinner
A great spring
-Greed is the net-
Hope with fish hooks
On each grain of sand
A reef in distress
-Greed is the net-
Tsunami
Tsunami
The murmur of the farce is a tsunami

Maremoto
Maremoto
El murmullo de la farsa es
un Maremoto
El mar retrocede
se expande la propiedad
Mariscos pa'la cena
Una gran primavera
-La avaricia es la red-
Esperanzas con anzuelos
En cada grano de arena
Un arrecife en agonia
-La avaricia es la red-
Maremoto

El murmullo de la farsa es

A steady abacus
A rear view mirror
A medal that shines
until the sun dies
Una escriba atenta
corazón que late tiempo
A simple marking
A cardinal moral point
Another punch, another kiss
but always away
The name of new days
A horizon for all to seek
L.N.A.
P.N.A.
Mark new calendars correct
Living Nazi America
Post Nazi America

Capital

Capital of smiles
The deficiency creates the bridge of sighs
The walls of words
petrify the wishes and the fists
We don't have much smiles
and our scars strangle the fire
-
Our voice shanks (them)
their palace crumbles when touched
The abundance in their lives
is hidden by a finger in the scale
Drowning us in disdain
they hide the arks full of capital
-------
Capital de sonrisas
La insuficiencia forma el puente de suspiros
Las paredes de palabras petrifican los deseos y los puños
Tenemos pocas sonrisas
y las cicatrices ahorcan el fuego
-
Nuestra voz les apuñala
Su palacio se desmorona al tocarlo
La abundancia en sus vidas
La esconden con un dedo en la balanza
Sumergiéndonos en desprecio
Nos esconden las arcas llenas de capital

Spoken word:
It is exhausting to live as a second class citizen and then see other people go through the worst case scenario of second class citizenship. Then conversations lead me to share my own stories and people's reaction is to question the veracity of what I share because they think I'm not being objective.
I can share more and more thoughts but it feels useless. I lose. They win. I get it. Our experiences have no value when looked from their point of view. They are romans. We are barbarians. But, no matter what, whether they accept this complex reality now, or later, or never, the dissonance between racism deniers and the reality of people of color is deafening to us people of color and the white people who recognize what is going on. The footage is out there, the data is out there, and facts are facts.
I once thought that maybe, when I'm 80 years old, I would see a somewhat fair world with much less prejudice. Bannon/Breitbart, Sessions, and the Trumps have dispelled such fantasies.
I can reach 100 years old and I will still be a second class citizen.
