Salt Oracle

Beschreibung

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.
