Somos

We were born, we grew up and we put the eggs
in the wicker basket we reproduce
to be survivors for many reasons.
Animals, humans, beings who sing,
people born with legs and hands
we arrive, we touch and then we look.

We are shameless dressed in feathers
we are roots that dream, we are made of paper
we are a laboratory of fresh rhythm
without accessories, we are the cable that lights up
your light, we are everything you want
we are coyote and ostrich.

We are the wind, we are heat
we are voices in the pants
we are small and wild.
We are brave, I say
we all have the solution
we are smarter than the animals themselves.

I lock up your round anger, I roll it up, I stretch it
and I put it as a carpet, and I bite
my teeth, flying is my challenge, I tighten
and I try.

We want to swim in the water, that is in the air
that surrounds everything, we are streamers that slip in the wind.
We are energy night and day,
we are wanderers without direction without a roof
gaining to lose.

We are a dictionary, with new songs
in your calendar, we are puppets
who want to know, we are you and what
everyone wants, we are uglier than monkeys.

We are the wind, we are heat
we are voices in the pants
we are small and wild.
We are brave, I say
we all have the solution
we are smarter than the animals themselves.
