El Dios de Lluvia

My cup overflows
I lap the water 
from the table top

Precious
too precious
to waste

What did 
Father
used to say

Remember your 
grandmother
bringing water

up from the well
bucket
by bucket

Unrelenting sun
Eight children
to feed

Her husband 
toiling 
in the fields

Cha'ac
the old God
gifting rain
