honoring the winter solstice

nestled in the bosom of my hometown

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.
