La Flor Michoacana

Sometimes I go there

Buy whatever odd item

Tip too much

And sit outside with a lime jarritos

 

I reflect on how la paleta

dripped down your hand

Like sticky tears of joy,

You licked them away

 

Amidst the laughter of los nenes

I hear your voice in the distance

Una canción de recuerdo,

un eco en mi alma
