sapito: a poem
tierra, tierra, tierra, tierra
i fall into the arms of the mother who said,
“don’t worry, my child, you can fly”
and she held me and squeezed me
until i could no longer tell her from i
for i had kissed the toad, so now, i guess i die
and soon enough i was nothing at all
not black and not white, no colors, no light
no words, or if there were, deaf ears were where they fall
and i guess there was no time
nor was there a real sense of i
but it did not last, this eternal night
for there came a primordial rumble
a songline to change the paradigm
and, oh, what a wonderful ride
that is, until the collide
into a wave of another mumble
and suddenly we were destined for new skies
exploding beams of ancient light
to create the stars held within your very eyes
with each touch, twine, and tear of another
there, birthed new shapes and color
and so it continued, on and on
as each eon and ion came to exist
and with them, every egoist
then, from that place where we all are blissed
the offer was given,
“stay here or go back to playing in the mist”
separate, but destined
and there was no true question
for back on Earth, there she forever slept
Destinie, her essence, so radiant
and there was no greater honor
than to let her further explore the mortal gradient
tierra, tierra, tierra, tierra
i was, again, falling into the arms of the mother who said,
“don’t worry, my child, you can fly”
and with an inhale, air as fresh as mountain mist
filled lungs, thirsty for true love’s kiss
bringing me back to my most sacred gift
