partera

Clinic de la Partera
I can see it.  Diane and me. 
Catching babies in Tulum Pueblo.
Cotton skirts, wildly wavy hair, rebozos and cumin tea.
Great mama hips and fat baby cheeks.
Nurslings tied on, cloth diapers or no diapers.
Proud papas. Smiling. Kissing.
Blue water.  Dark chocolate.
Awake to the birds. Asleep to the waves.
Cielito Lindo in the air.
You down, Cousin?
