i am offering you this poem - jimmy santiago baca lyrics

i am offering this poem to you
since i have nothing else to give
keep it like a warm coat
when winter comes to cover you
or like a pair of thick socks
the cold cannot bite through

i love you

i have nothing else to give you
so it is a pot full of yellow corn
to warm your belly in winter
it is a scarf for your head, to wear
over your hair, to tie up around your face

i love you

keep it, treasure this as you would
if you were lost, needing direction
in the wilderness life becomes when mature;
and in the corner of your drawer
tucked away like a cabin or hogan
in dense trees, come knocking
and i will answer, give you directions
and let you warm yourself by this fire
rest by this fire, and make you feel safe
i love you

it’s all i have to give
and all anyone needs to live
and to go on living inside
when the world outside
no longer cares if you live or die;
remember

i love you
