Happy Siete De Mayo!

ONE DAY WHEN YOU LOOK FOR ME

By Victor De La Cruz

One day when you look for me

you won't find me

and in your heart

there'll be no one left to tell you

which path I took

and where I forgot you.

One day when you open your eyes

I won't be here

I'll have taken another path

and forgotten you.

You'll look north and south

to where the sun is born and where it hides

where the four roads meet

you'll look crazy, searching for my footprints.

Who knows what rains

and what winds

will have swept them away.

So, it is Freebie Friday here at Born Broken, and I also remembered that I wanted to do some kind of Cinco De Mayo post.  I'm a little late, so instead I am posting for Siete De Mayo.  I also included a poem by Victor De La Cruz.  He is an Oaxacan poet from Juchitán, a hub of Isthmus Zapotec art and culture on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. His books of poetry include First Voice, Two that Three Poems, and Isthmus Corridos. I absolutely loved the beauty of the translation above.  I thought its' melancholy tone matched that sad little face on the girl above.  I hope you enjoy it.  Take a moment to enjoy both Latin American, Hispanic and indiginous cultures today.

To create the image above, I used a freebie from the Art By Canace blog.  Canace is a wonderful founding member of ZNE ~ and I thank another wonderful ZNE member, Stacey Merrill, for letting me know that Canace occasionally offers freebies on her blog.  Take a look, and play, play, play!

Happy Friday everyone!
