Answer Me Poem by L.B. Temuco

Who are we
What do I mean to you
Why do you arrive always
like the sun bursting

You showed the world
the pink feet of your newborn
as a mother
magma flowed
like lips over and over
eating each other
until there was nothing left

Answer me
Answer the truth in my eyes

There is still a river
over which clouds float
geisha and 'danna'

We belong
to the same mountain

If we live in grace
nature will not harm us
If we live without love
life will lose all its seasons

All that we are
All that it is
Touch the sand in my hand
