You gave me wings
and no man, woman or any other being
can take them from me

death can only transform them
turbulence can only deepen my trust in them
what you gave no one can take

(what bends towards me has been years and lifetimes in the making)
<<Es que nace un mundo nuevo >>
–Mundo Nuevo,Lila Downs y Alexis Puentes

Si, lo puedo sentir en la forma que siento la rotación del planeta–

Es verdad nace un mundo nuevo
y descuelga frases antiguas, y surge como contrincante
con su paz permutando toda las previas formas de comprender y operar con algo más lleno
más bello

viene erradicando fronteras
y con su amor deshaciendo los límites impuestos por un mundo viejo lleno de miedo
miedo de vivir
miedo de morir
miedo del infierno
miedo de no ser suficiente
miedo de escasez
Miedo

Se muere todo esto que perpetua el medio
y nace uno mundo nueve

un mundo lleno de amor
donde solo su calidez impeliera
y naturalmente desde nuestras entrañas surja

y no necesita que tú lo llames
este mundo viene entre nos
mira las criaturas las flores los peces y los niños ellos son el mundo nuevo igual que tú

y desde adentro toma sus manos  
tu costado
tu vida
y tú ser

es que somos el mundo nuevo

Keep him well through spring as you did through winter
as you done for years
and you have given him breath
keep it steady and constant in his being
deliver him joy
travel swift like the morning dew
and be there when the new day comes
I loosen my eyes and the suddenly the whole world appears before me
and I smile
and there is no reason
or perhaps every reason stand before me
evident, luminous, unified
that I cannot tell where it begins and where it ends
or even if my nature is separate from this joy
Some days I hold space for the tears

some people go out and buy new dresses
cut their hair
say mean things or ask “ why me?”
some find a pretty face
or a temporary generous hand

I just sit and cry
because I am just sad that is all

some go out and shop,
some drink their way to swim out their sorrow
but I don’t buy many things
and I am not a heavy drinker

I just lock myself in the bathroom stall and cry when the feeling comes on strong

some move
and some delete everything
I think everything in life is a gift
and with time I want to see this as one


some, many, people,others
do “X” who knows what the way to go
is...

...just have to let the tears fall so I feel cleansed
Oh Nina when I hear your voice from the speaker I am overwhelmed and the guards standing at door of my eyes lose their composure

“ I get along without you very well” plays and I silently cry in a coffee shop
Simply in flesh
expressing

simply like you
born into earth
breathing

simply here
for just a while
living

simply all of life
loving itself
in disguise

simply
and humbly
trying
(like you)
