Como un Quetzal en las selva de Peten
Como el rio Orinoco en el Amazonas
Como un Colibrí en un clavel rojo
Como los cafetales de Masaya en Nicaragua
Como el Águila de Norte América
Como el amanecer en El Superior Lake
Como el Atardecer en Santa Mónica, California
Como el Izalco en El Salvador
Bello como el Universo
Bello como naciste!

Takes to swirl
To annoy mind
To a bitter taste
Disgusting but not really
Enough to push neurons against each other

Please, please, understand
It is not all that
It’s me, it’s us!
Currents of different river
Merging waters
Into one smooth movement
One soft ride
Objectively running
A natural end!

Mayan exposition, a lovely reassurance,
Art, astronomy, mathematics, lives
Intertwined together in different time.

Today, my soul mixed with new life.
Reality reflected in a new cenote,
A cold place in Dakota land,
Mirror into the underworld and future.

My heart is yours to hold.
Yours to believe in!
Under our northern Aurora nights, I will be there for you.

Minnehaha falls, witnessing our summer dance,
Following its course into the Mississippi and
Into the great plains of the Cherokee nation.

Mayan culture, showing, reminding where I come from.
You, Alice of my chains, my future.
My love, my inspiration, my Mayan dream.
My Reflection!

Navidad blanca, tan blanca que me siega.
Amor blanco, claro y cristalino.
Mi mujer tan blanca que me fascina.
Paz tan blanca que me inspira!
Nubes tan blancas que son cartulinas
Vino blanco de Chile
Tan sabroso
Que me hace pensar en Chilenas
Blanco de seguro es puro
Tequila? Vodka? Unidas?
Bueno, guaro es guaro
Tic Tac?
En blanco, un principio!
Plumas blancas, flores blancas,
Palomas blancas, luna blanca.
Blanco, blancas las cobijas, los zapatos.
Cuanto blanco!
Blanqueador para blanquear.
Me quedo con negro!
Si, negro moreno.
Morenazo!

Four o’clock, six o’clock
Coffee tasting, people looking busy
Deciding or trying to start
Can’t think of work day’s end now
But somewhere in the mind
Thoughts of different day floating around

Engaging now until quitting time
get productive, it’s a habit
it’s a need
Let’s get it going
Glad to be part of the process

Can’t live with or without
Lovely day at work again
Accomplishing what is needed
I’m satisfied, yeah!

One more day, two more days
I will be there, doing
What it takes to survive.
I will keep it
I will take care of it
I will remember every hour!
