“The Real Woman, ‘Malinche’”

Daughter-of-None
Once sold by her Father
Mistress or Whore?
Saint or Sinner?
Dreamer or Realist?
This Woman of Fame & Shame
Who was She really?
A Mortal or Bruja?
A Legend or Lie?
That all of us of “mixed-blood”
Heritage must ask ourseves
In our collective quest
For metiza/ meti/ mulatta Identity
And our individual sense of Worthiness
From our existential colonialist experiences
As we seek our essential Beingness
In the very reason for our Existence
From this Legacy . . .
¡Bastante!
