Mestizo

I can't keep my distance
Or see myself beneath my skin,
Spinning around the center
Or blowing up with it.
All that's left for me
Is to crush the old dry leaves
With my feet,
Dancing because I'm mestizo.
I can't get close to the sun
To ask you,
Because it would dry up my blood
And that just can't happen
Because I am, because I am mestizo.
I go to the sun and when I'm dry
I'll float through the air to you,
Because I'm mestizo, mestizo, mestizo.
