Day 22

By Amy Bobeda

spring 2021

water is gold

the blood of the earth

hearing us.

–Cecilia Vicuña

I clamor for red

falling into amazement

my hands grasping

which are her hands

which are your hands

los manos de sueños son la mana of my grand

mother tongues

la lengua de aves es la lengua

of gold
