A TRAVEZ DE MANO A MANO

 

A TRAVEZ DE MANO A MANO

By Mayra Cardoza


My hand on top of your hand On top of my hand 

La mano de mi mama 

On top of her hand 

La mano de su mamá 

Generation on top of generation Lesson on top of lesson 

Which leaves us 

Ascending 

Unburdening 

Strengthening 

The fibers 

The blood line 

That run through us 

Like a rope 

Intertwined 

Together 

Ancestral wisdom 

That is the solidity 

Underneath our feet 

As well as divinity 

Medicinal 

Touch 

Within our fingertips 

“You are not alone they say” 

A thousand echoes of women Behind the figure that is 

My Mother 

Her Mother 

Myself.
