Poetry from Luz Myriam Moreno Puerta

REJECTION

Older middle aged Latina woman with  garland of fall leaves and a yellow top, standing in front of brown and red and green artwork.

The lament groans in the blue

for the yellow that perishes.

From the depths of the soul springs

the protest that wounds.

The cry is a strong echo,

that soars to infinity.

And so,

between patience and pain

the promise is a sunflower.
