jungle born, my Olmec girl
pale as an orchid
with a galaxy of freckles
scattered like gold dust across her nose
and a Humming-bird gene
a Butterfly Queen
(how my Olmec child has grown)
primeval goddess, my Dragonfly-girl
mischievous fairy with flames for her hair
and a voice like the rain stick
in a shaman’s hands
my tropical priestess of mercy
soothing breeze tinged with salt
her eyes blazing greener than iguana hide
an iridescent gem, iridescent skin
(how my Olmec daughter’s grown)
she drifts like a spark on the air
and as sparks will do
she ignites a pure flame
my forest fire,
my dancing Kali
my Olmec girl dancing in the sun.
