How dare Trump allow someone on his stage at his Madison Square Garden Rally to make such hateful remarks about the people of Puerto Rico. Today, I am thinking about two of the many wonderful Puerto Ricans who made us all better human beings. Below Roberto Clemente, Pittsburgh Pirate's great right fielder who died at 38 in a plane crash while delivering humanitarian aid to the people of Nicaragua and Julia Constanza Burgos Garcia (February 17, 1914 – July 6, 1953), Puerto Rican poet, feminist, and civil rights activist for women and African/Afro-Caribbean writers. Viva Puerto Rico!!!!!!

The Sea and You
Julia Constanza Burgos Garcia

The stroke of the sea upon my door
is blue sensation between my toes,
and your impetuous leap through my spirit
is no less blue, an eternal birth.
All the color of awakened aurora
the sea and you swim to my encounter,
and in the madness of loving me
until the shipwreck
you both go breaking the ports and the oars.
If I just had a ship of seagulls,
and could for an instant stop them,
and shout my voice that they fight
in a simple duel of mystery!
That one in the other might find
his own voice,
interweave their dreams in the wind,
bind stars in their eyes
so that they give, united, their beams.
May there be a duel of music in the air
the opened magnolias of their kisses,
that the waves dress in passions
and the passion dress in sailboats.
All the color of awakened aurora
may the sea and you expand it into a dream
that it carry my ship of seagulls
and leave me in the water of two skies.
