Renewed
I set
Cups
tazón y caldera
Bowls of water
Brooms
Spoons
out for display
Our voice
our love
our food
our fires lit
candles in the dark
We indeed are a sum total
the past a lost lineage, ancestral ghosts walk with we.
and we reach
back over the gap of colonization...taking back what was lost.
what was taken.
We move within, removed...
Connecting dots that seem random but
lead us
to rituals long gone
now we
renewed
Spirits once ignored
reviewed
heard
rehearsed songs
from long ago, ring truth
and we teach
our loves, the songs of our loves
enlightened
enriched
and renewed
