I like to think that sitting in a diamond
with these women,
spitting tongues and
spicy hot
that I can follow.
that I hear their every word
and know it's meaning, context.
I pretend there isn't a
|barrier|.
Because of their sun-kissed skin,
thick strands like a horses tail,
burly eye protectors
and long eyebrows.
The way their hips snap
and sway
to the beat of a bachata song.
the way they aren't afraid of the
fire that formed the minute they sprung
from the womb.
Hot (Caliente),
fire (fuego),
sacrifices and (sacrificios y)
respect (respeto).
I will sit here and listen
read their quick bodies
show my teeth as they do.
Because I want to learn
of that strength.
