El hermanamiento–Sistering
The mango trees flourish behind the walls topped with razor wire
I see your eyes beautiful sister
your eyes tell me that we walk the same path
La lucha continúa
the struggle goes on
but with tears of love
with walls coming down
with hearts that are no longer afraid to feel what is there
say it
and receive what comes next
my life, my love, and the revolution
are not in separate boxes
one to be sacrificed for the other
one hidden away for the good of the other
one held up to prove my worth
my own confusing alienation
has led me step by step to share this sacred gift
our being human together
is the revolution
