Cinco Di Mayo

Walton S. Tissot
Flag bearer of Juarez hold fast

The valley of Anáhuac; ciudad de México

Distrito Federal

~

Morning Constitution at the Custom House

A Zapotec day- dream

Memories blue green the hue, and fever in pitch

~

Tailored & ragged the room with a view

Ignacio sang for the fields.

Meek & the weathered; one body

~

Viva la revolución!

Para dejar el pellejo, lo mismo es hoy que mañana

~

Twas '62; A blood moon & poverties caress

Under- toned love & country

~

Cinco di Mayo!

Estás como los frijoles, al primer hervor se arrugan

libertad o muerte!

~

Thrice removed; but titled

A great shadow blocks this son of France

Molded clay, a likeness shallow

~

La graine du frère de Napoleon, sake

A bon chat, bon rat

~

Cinco di Mayo!

Fleeting, fury, freedom, & self

Sovereign; mind, body, and creed

~

Remember! Recordar! Souvenir!
