Pon tu cabeza aquí
On top of this rock, I confront the sea
of prisons
men bones dust
so that your roots may reveal
that which they conceal
I hereon set them free
see how they climb
one over the other
trampling the fervor
mutilating tongues
in the name
of peace
place your head here
listen to the heartbeats
they burn the fields
turn water into bait
see how these hands
drown the poison
Under the waves
so that our people may rest
if you offer time
I will give you my breath
let your roots travel with the birds and color the lips of the breeze
that weaves us together
that which once weighed
on your back will at last be dissolved
among the living dead
listen to your pulse
the heartbeats
Let us sing to our displacement
take this handful of ashes and dreams
scatter them over the earth
your true voice
will rise
