“Make love to me in Spanish.
Not with that other tongue
I want you
juntito a mi
tender like the language
crooned to babies
I want to be that
lullabied,
mi bien
querido
that loved
I want you inside
the mouth of my heart,
inside the harp of my wrists,
the sweet meat of the mango,
in the gold that dangles
from my ears and neck.
Say my name. Say it.
The way it’s supposed to be said.
I want to know that I knew you
even before I knew you.”
-Sandra Cisneros “Dulzura”

“This collaboration mixes Melanie’s drawing of a Xicana with a pattern I pieced together from a Toltec stone stamp created about 3,000 years ago. This mix of ancient and new brings together printmakers across generations, the stamp pattern used was one of many that were created to print on fabric and paper.”
