===Biography:===
We came to the river because there was nowhere else to go.
It was fast and it was quiet, we could never hear it coming but we heard it telling us to run in the dark it was the owls in the canopies, crickets in the reeds, wolves in the distance. We left the animals and it took them too; it took what we left and the things we couldn’t carry. It took and it took and we gave it everything we had. When it came to take us we ran. We were silent but it heard us breathing, heard us begging it to leave, heard us putting out our matches in case it smelled the smoke and every sound in the forest was its laugh, every sound was its cry it was hunting us for days. It walked in our shadows and underneath the ground, panting at our heels YOU MUST NEVER TURN BACK PROMISE heard it laughing in the trees like a screaming crow, we were frightened when we saw them flocking, they followed us down to the river in the rain and filled the sky, they filled the sky
One hundred dancing birds like dark little stars. Sonora, they said, sonora, sonora
The children were slow, we left them
Two days and a night before we reached the river and all the while we ran without sleeping, without stopping. We told each other it was gone but we still we fled, all the way to the edge of the water, it was too wide to cross. The river was still and we saw our reflections in the darkness, saw the whites of our eyes like beacons to the sound. Under the water there were the lights of the stars. burning. we couldn’t help but put them out it sees them, we said, it sees us it looks for fire, it looks for us. It will smell the smoke you must drown them out you must find a way you must find a way
We put out our lanterns, we quieted the weak, we hid on the banks. We dare not light our candles, they said, it looks for fire, it looks for lights DON'T TURN BACK NEVER EVER TURN BACK we didn’t try to listen but my god I heard it, I heard it, I hear it, and in the night it said to me Santa Ama, Sancta Sonora, Sonora, Sonora as it came for us
when it came it came from the water, when it came I heard them crying
Sonora, sonora, sancta sonora, sonora, sonora, sonora, sonora sonora sonora sonora
You must not ever
