mujer

strong mujer
carries weight
even when her back is bent
hands strong like iron
from forcing doors open
from carrying children
from bearing the burden
and still
can ease sighs from your tense
knotted shoulders
with a touch like summer
rain
water
flowing under

and later
be careful
her
mouth might spit fire
but then
again
she might just drown
all your anger
with a lingering touch
like
silken dawns
remembered
