Abril, the month when my heart
started beating where I inhaledthe breath of this World
giving me a gift called life
conceived in a warm Mexican
month probably in Augustnear a playa where a gothic
cathedral’s steeple blocks the
silhouette of mountain tops
my journey in this path
has brought me to this momentdressed in the garb the seasons,
the years have cloaked me in
the suns have darken my skin
moons have glistened my eyeswhat my hands have held
arms have embraced and
my lips have kissed is who
I am today
my eyes have seen the sweetness
of Spring and shed tears in the darkand cold not just of Mother Nature’s
bold portentous moods but of Man’s
fickle hearts and souls
here today my birthday month of Abril
the smile of Spring appears and its showers of joyous tears
behold the warmth of my heart
I give to you today, my love,
in the longevity of my years
