PUERTO RICAN DISCOVERY #23: Portrait In Raising Self Esteem by Sandra Maria Esteves
Brooding Woman (recto), Three Children (verso)
Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881-1973)
Flirtatious dreamers
we judge ourselves all wrong
Backward guilt
feet-first jumpstarts into birth
innocent to realize
rain days can be good
blessings from heaven
disguised
We watch for signs
Survival manna
slow to discover learning lessons
on an oceanic route
full of rocky struts
fathomless caves
voluptuous hills
sea water from the unexpected...
We are infants compared to the universe
a wise great-grandmother
who can harvest the stars around the moon
The names of all things are sacred
like thoughts breathing clean air
More than loving
living means giving
Like homegrown food
from the eternal harvest within
But for real.
