I AM FROM HERE

 

 

I AM FROM HERE

I am from the land

of golden corn

and roasted cocoa beans

From temples

gnawed by time

and droughts

Of shamans

who invoked

the gods and the stars

I am from this land

that tastes like tomatoes

potatoes and peanuts

that smells like vanilla

and gets drunk

from time to time

with chicha and masato

I am from the land

where we dance

to the sun of the harvests

and make offerings

to the moon of fertility

I am the harmony

of nature

I am from the jaguar

and the macaw

I am from Pachamama
