Salt Oracle is a collection of poems about the earth, the home, and the ancestral memory of the human body. It celebrates the connection of that body with the contents of its environment-with the body’s movement and grace; with food that unfolds into generational tales; and with the dreams that, like memory, bridge the divide of human existence.
Estrellas de mar
La espuma salada del mar
crece en las manos
humedeciendo los huesos ancestrales de mi especie.
Las manos se convierten
en el templo del rito sagrado,
ese rito que cada día lo repito
como si fuera un rito
que me devuelve la gracia
Starfish
The salty foam of the sea
grows in my hands
and dampens my ancestral bones.
My hands become a temple
for that sacred ritual
that I repeat daily
as if it were a rite
that returns me to grace
La mirada del águila
Sus ojos hablan el lenguaje de otros mundos,
los silencios eternos se hacen presentes
en el ave de la magia y del presagio
que aparece detrás del vidrio.
The Eagle’s Gaze
Its eyes speak the language of other worlds;
the eternal silences emerge
in the bird of magic and prophecy
that appears behind the glass.
