SACRED SPIRITS: una poema para el día de los muertos

spirits of life—angels of death
hermanas y hermanos—give me your breath

we traverse the earth—we search high and low
we seek karmic rebirth—buscamos el cielo

espiritus santos—cosmic incisions
we strive for solidarity—we name our own missions

dia de los muertos—day of the dead
we honor the memories of ancestors living on in our heads

sacred spirits—poders de dios
we pray that you can hear us—we worship the blue rose

the bone breaks–but it comes back stronger
espiritus celestiales–meet our karmic longing

we are a billion beautiful hearts–somos un poder creciendo reaching for the stars
we are constructing a queered up noah’s ark–we are awaiting the looming flood ready for the seas to part
