Caballitos de Totora*

Calm in turbulence

King-side up 

Who are you in Revolution?

I am the King of Cups

I’m in a reflected dream

Following my heart 

Listening to the voices 

Of the families traveling 

Our silenced songs are swelling

Moonlit from the ocean’s shores 

Rhythms of the sea 

Submerge into reality 

I’m in a water dream

Lucid in fresh air 

Following the currents 

of the families navigating 

Our survival is our dreams dancing

Sunlit from the ocean’s bowl 

Our singing bell 

Our ocean core 

Cup of dreams 

Imagination’s greenery 

Cross into reality 

Calm in turbulence

King-side up 

Who am I in Pandemic? 

I am a lover 

I'm holding you gently

Though you cannot see my hands 

As you look up 

I am looking back
