I sought solace from heart hurt
in the close, beer- and tripas-tinged air of
the market square conjunto festival.
Respite in the cramped and bustling line at the pan dulce counter.
Familiarity of strangers
and a kind gesture from another hungry soul.
I felt so centered and whole with
my roots reaching deep
into the fiesta-colored layers of my soul city.
