Monterrey
mountaincradled
where the words of the poets
are writ large on
crumbling walls
Monterrey
manymartyred
where American bullet holes
still scar the bridges like braille
Monterrey motherspring
where the cerros weep
warm tears
at the presa de boca
Monterrey multitudinous
where city streets waterflow
like the canals of Santa Lucia
Monterrey minamuertos
where my family bones
gird the ground of la independencia
