A Mexico with bundle of tassels. And
engraved silver
A Mexico with ears of corn, brown-skinned people.
A Mexico, of fairs, of candy skulls.
Tame, quiet, wild, incongruous, strident, lighthearted.
The Mexico of ancient ruins,
churches made of gold and shadows. And
gardens of bougainvillea and tropical flowers.
The Mexico from yesterday and today,
of beautiful songs and dances, born from ruins
created between the black braids of the natives,
Screams, weeping, silence, songs.
Pure expression of our roots,
that convert themselves into reality
though the sentiment of a great lady . . .
