Salt Oracle is a collection of poems about the earth, the home, and the ancestral memory of the human body. It celebrates the connection of that body with the contents of its environment-with the body's movement and grace; with food that unfolds into generational tales; and with the dreams that, like memory, bridge the divide of human existence.Estrellas de marLa espuma salada del marcrece en las manoshumedeciendo los huesos ancestrales de mi especie.Las manos se conviertenen el templo del rito sagrado,ese rito que cada día lo repitocomo si fuera un ritoque me devuelve la graciaStarfishThe salty foam of the seagrows in my handsand dampens my ancestral bones.My hands become a templefor that sacred ritualthat I repeat dailyas if it were a ritethat returns me to graceLa mirada del águilaSus ojos hablan el lenguaje de otros mundos,los silencios eternos se hacen presentesen el ave de la magia y del presagioque aparece detrás del vidrio.The Eagle's GazeIts eyes speak the language of other worlds;the eternal silences emergein the bird of magic and prophecythat appears behind the glass.
