Ofrenda

Copal incense  
Wafting over
Crackled photos  
Tarnished candlesticks  
 
Milagros nailed  
To crosses
Favors granted
By saints gone by  
 
Pan de muerto  
Pan de vida  
 
Tissue flowers  
Arranged like Frida  
 
Soap for their hands
Water for their faces
Salt for their souls
Seeking graces
 
Offerings  
And sacrifice  
Honoring those  
Who touched my life
