about

Inspired by Summer Wheat’s Bread Winners, it’s a poem about how hope & will are tied together, despite the different personalities of the strong women in my life.

{ inspired by "Bread Winners" by Summer Wheat }

lyrics

Mira el cielo

My great grandma left the mountains
A cruelty ingrained by its facade
A leathery nomad with hope
Working towards freedom and finding bitter wisdom
A rosy statue unchanged by her daughter’s love

Her great daughter left the mountains
And having eaten ants made of honey
She’s a hymn singing itself
Abandoned in a river’s valley
A fighter floating to the ocean, both
Lovely and divine

Her great daughter left the mountains
Buried in farmers’ fields as a child
Battered and abused, she clawed
Crawling through and past her righteous anger
We grew up together learning to move
Like sunflowers
A Texas breeze between summer and fall

My aunts and sisters, daughters and friends
My lost loves
Mira el cielo
Every midnight water reflecting starlight
As they leave the mountains for the sky
