El Charco Hondo Flo

Tropical waterfall / rush
late afternoon light flickers / wanes warm
poetic gentle hush currents dance
el río flows from the mountains of Adjuntas
says how you like my flo and my beautiful sister swims so free and happy
ella es un poema hoy en un gran río de aguas verdes y claras
con luces como una bailarina en el agua
una hija de esta tierra preciosa

Paint Me a Puerto Rico


Paint me a Puerto Rico with true
Caribbean love love LOVE of Blackness / Black
truth as in Samuel Lind’s kind a truth / Lady Justice en Loiza / con tantos cantos de orgullo
& ojo para ver / tambores & all
the history & cultura de
una isla negra / you could teach the young ones so much more about freedom / you
could teach us that the only thing as old as
el racismo es la resistencia / the truest freedom
down to the roots
up to the sky
