If we can produce enough tears
From the ocean that wells up inside of us
When we are overwhelmed by
Joy, Wonder, Sorrow, Loss, and Love
We can sell the sun-dried product
At Market
In our tiny village
When the People eat the brine
That poured out of us
They will feel the stories
Course through their capillaries
About the long road traveled
Reminding them of the convergence
Instructing them to hold the light
That brought them here
To tattoo the Tierra
With their blood seeping down to the river
And the smoke of their ritual fires touching the sky
Visible in the distance to influence
The clouds that rain inside
To cultivate the crops our lachrimae will eventually accentuate
