- Metzli Chingona
- Only you
- can paint the sky
- so Mexican
- become
- papier maché skull
- laughing in la noche
- hang out como loca
- with vatos and rucas
- irte de vaga all night
- and travel
- agachadita y despacito
- a sloooow yellow lowrider
- cruising los boulevards
- de cielos oscuros
- watchala!
- you're the high
- heeled sugar mama
- romance queen
- wearing skin-tight
- satin dress, singing
- canciones de amor
- you turn
- the tide red
- turn tough
- illiterate cholos
- into poets
- circle the wombs
- of women
- who bleed
- even lobos
- hold sacred your light
- lift heads up con
- waauuuuuuu waauuuuuuu
- you're La Poser
- moon over mi raza
- light outside my windo
- la llema del huevo
- the onion goddess
- La canica de hielo
- dando vuelta tras vuelta
- en el cielo
- you're la Party Girl
- who smokes mota
- and drinks too much tequila
- becomes the slit
- of a sleepy eye
- hanging sideways
- el ojo abusado
- de la abuela
- la ceja blanca
- del viejo
- la sonriza chueca
- del borracho
- an ivory alligator tooth
- dangling
- the shiny pedazo
- of somebody's broken mirror
- tossed into the sky
- Metzli
- you turn mars
- into a burnt out
- cigarette butt
- make estrellas
- look like tossed jacks
- you chase away the sun
- smudge his fire
- like rust lipstick
- against pale blue horizon
- make of a rising Venus
- such an envious star
- From the CD Raza Spoken Here 1 ©1998 Olga Angelina García Echeverría.
