Nataraja Notes and Other Selected Poems

By Mayo Garcia Reyes

.native-born to mexico they fell in love at first sight(my parents)
in guadalajara, they married, then, like the conquistadores of old forged
northward and conquered, settled among the foothills of northern
california in the early 50s (i incarnated near sutter creek).
childhood was ravaged, consumd by rivers, salmon, oak, cries of the
redtail hawk and sun stone.they were my escape, and appeasd my
hunger.
