“Dar a luz” literally means to give to light
you are born when you are given over to the light
from their homes people exit
all looking for the sun

the folks chanting “no justice, no peace”
the families driving in an R.V,
the hikers on their way to the closest national park, the young men enlisting, the children throwing tantrums and growing an inch, the littering masses and the crumpling ideologies of the past all open eyed beneath the sunlight
–at least now we can see them all
they are being brought to light
(this is an opportunity)
We are all being given to the light–
this summer, next summer, the following summer, the eternal summers of the our collective strife towards rebirth sit ready in the belly of this earthly mother
where everything will be given over to the light
