PSALM XIII
I see you traveling, migrante,
and I ask myself:
What is the size of the dream
that your much misunderstood feet carry?
How much geography
enters into your absent-minded eyes?
How big is the seed
that your heart preserves for these occasions?
From Salmos para migrantes, in Five Poets of Aztlán. Ed. Santiago Daydí-Tolson. Binghamton: Bilingual Press/Editorial Bilingüe, 1985.
