Adobo Criollo Sergio Antonio Ortiz Rivera

I’m over sixty, the moon is the same but my body is tattooed with time… let me finish this spring painting

when I finally break the cage, rapture … on a broken night the more I fly the more I burn

the truth is I am better on my own… starting over another day under the smelting heat

I live hand to mouth knowing hope and history are inmates-- encircled by strings I dance on desert sands
