This land of surreal fruit

sends my eyes into ecstasy

my mind mute

this land smells of true life

of sweat

and of truth

 

this land is my past

I feel it, in my bones

Doors are opened

Through them, come my relatives

 

They live in This land

I have their blood 

I thrive

On their Heritage

They Flood

My desires with Love
