Prayer to the Coqui with dreads smoking weed while wearing black air force ones:

By Mario José Pagán Morales

Oyé manito
pasa la hierbabuena
cuéntame un cuento
of time y days before
colonizers sailed
cuando abuelitas fed nietos
coconut breast
abuelitos
passed down historias
of kotorra feathers
adorning our crowns
y pescado filling our pipas
cuentame un cuento of
Yaya
Bayamanaco
Itiba Cahu baba
Deminan Cara cara col
bones
an iquera
a tortuga
an ocean
tell me the names of the moon and sun
que Atabey is God
her first born is our baba
bring me back to where it all began
cuando el mundo was home
all we knew was el sol y el mar

Borinken is all we            needed
