mamatita mi sobrina

          1—to live in this world 

 there must be a cat 

or some other animal 

because unaccompanied 

life isn't worth waking 

morning sometimes declines 

to smile coffee is necessary 

           2—you must be able 

 to see that every slice of orange 

 her abuelo feeds her with his fingers 

 is a slice of sun on her tongue 

 rising like the sonrisa she beams 

 when he gives her another piece of 

 the world to her year-old self is 

 this ripe this taste this world unpeeled 

             3—to do three things

  walk in the shoes of the stranger

                         you will one day meet 

                                           whose language you may not 

                know nuestros corazones no son extranjeros 

 speak your mothertongues sin vergüenza 

                         somewhere entre English y Español 

                                           porque el futuro is yours is brown 

                 & home hides in our ears 

 remember that tenderness 

                         is in the hands 

                                            whereas our hearts are 

                  the toughest part of our bodies 

                          that dear apple of my avuncular eye 

                                            you are the apple 

                  you are the eye
