Deafening Silence

Si tocan a una, respondemos todas.
If they touch [hurt] one of us, we all respond.
~ Vivir Quintana, singer, songwriter, Canción Sin Miedo (Song Without Fear)

to be nourished
first by your womb
and then again
by your bare breast
I would become
a whole being
that little girl who dreamed
the one who danced under the stars
and ran barefoot in a rainstorm
