Naomi Shihab Nye (نعومي شهاب ناي) Cinco de Mayo If this is your birthday and you are dead, do we stay silent as the sheet you died under? No. You always talked. Here's a thick white candle whispering. Pour birdseed into feeders. Speak up, speak up. Tell me where they go, my friend said, in the same pain. I touched her shoulder. Here, right here. You're closer than you ever were—takes a while to know that. Every scrap of DNA, he's listening. There's a way not to be broken that takes brokenness to find it.
