Chequescha (Miami's First Recorded Name)


Chequescha,

who were we before we were seized

by settlers?

before your pine forests

were chopped down

did you too recognize yourself better?


I rip off all my mangroves

for the mango contest

I am the juiciest

after hours of landscaping

I too, sometimes feel unrecognizable


Chequescha,


do you miss it?

can we ever go back?
