Take me
sobbing softly
I will lead you to the river
red ruffled dress
with marigolds in my hair
my face will be wan
my face will be white
Hold me
mourning loudly
I will guide you in the ruby waves
do not look down as we wade,
old souls around our ankles
like oysters without shells
Watch me
weeping wailing
I will sink into the water
la llorona
boys will whisper
as they look on from the rocks
la llorona
girls will gossip
pulling yellow skirt waists tighter
la llorona
you will cry
as I drown
my tears
are soft.
