The New Puerto Rico

Maria,
There is a new wind that blows in Puerto Rico  
Flags fly on Borinqueñ breath
Mi gente, canta!
Chants channel a rain dance of democracy,
demonstrate dignity,
deliver a name our children can be proud of.
Rosselló, no more!
 
It’s not enough to know our heritage
Trump we built a wall to combat sacrilege  
out of light skin and dark skin  
out of the power of women  
Out of gay men and straight men  
and humans  
that share the same goals.
in memory of the thousands of Tiano souls.
 
We figuratively and literally became the path,
the barricade against bigotry
the barrio bridge to bank & brighter days, stopping for piraguas on our way  
because we will never lose our taste  
for freedom.
