Nuevo Laredo - Rewrite

Nuevo Laredo

Wife’s bodhisattva halo embraces the nativity
of a Mesoamerican Madonna holding her baby
in a circle of love.
Beatified in luminescence
Ascetic body lost to hunger
Golden daughter of creation whose son shines
Like the gold-leafed pages
In her book of divine love
His nursery rhyme eyes
Are a shanty-town of tears
Mother’s milk-less breasts grieve
In prophetic yearning for son’s rebirth
My beloved’s heartbeats are a pulsar
As her soul synchronizes
With the celestial harmony
Of maternal love eternal
Blue sky clarity crystallizes
The buffalo nickel wife carries for luck
Becomes Mama’s thousand dollar gift
She kisses their earthen faces
Under the light of a thousand suns
