A Song For Lady Fish (for Ms. Adalia)

Bim boom ba bimbim we like groovin'
Bim boom ba bimbim we like groovin'
Bim boom ba bimbim we like groovin'

I call her Lady
Like the Day before her
She quien canta her rhythm 'n' blues
With bachata hips knees and heart
Scatting the floor with the groove of her soul

I call her Lady
Like her Mothers before
She who knows the lullabies to soothe baby aches
And can build temples with tiger fire eyes
Like a diamond shines, like glass can shatter,
The wrapping of humanity is in her dance

Lady Fish, Sister Fish
She who swims grace under water, salty waves of tears braid
Grief and laughter into an essence of harmony, watch the Queen in her

I call her Lady, who knows the necessity
Of movement in this
Vast Ocean

Lady Fish, Sister Fish toward iridescent

Bim boom ba bimbim we like groovin'
Bim boom ba bimbim we like groovin'
Bim boom ba bimbim we like groovin'
