I’ve been getting a lot of livestreams of abuelitos singing old mariachi songs on tiktok. This one’s for them. And my submission for #PoemsAbout #MainStage Thank you @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @thebrokenspine.co.uk

“A quiet incantation/turning my blood into warm honey.” I love that line. I give it a 🏅 for how deeply this sweetness runs.

A charming poem... and I love the fact that you wrote it after seeing "livestreams of abuelitos singing old mariachi songs on tiktok." I had no idea there were such lively abuelitos on tiktok?

Thank you and neither did I! But once I saw one I kept seeing more, they’re so talented 🩷
