Dia De Los Muertos

Gone by generations

Full of celebrations

Sea of creations

Colorful animations

Selfless invitations

To live, love, laugh

Honoring the melanin

Atomic creatinine

Seeping through the cracks

Once hindering packs

Leaving nothing but love, strength, and wisdom

From the ground up awake

Cultural awareness

Dia de Los Muertos

The first breath of a newborn

is relief in the ears of a father

to a mother, a new life form

counting all fingers and toes

each hair, follicle, skin fold

immersed in the scent

of a new baby born

the last breath yet to mourn

knowing life is a cycle

to appreciate life

death must be life’s norm

one breath exhaled death

in a breath, inhaled life

because death is part of life
