men and hummingbirds can come and pinch me tonight

Facing the sky like a lizard, 
I settle you in a trunk that smells of pine. 
My skin bursts with the flowers etched upon my dress. 
Men and hummingbirds can come and pinch me tonight; 
my happiness is nectar that flows. 
I am going to the fiestas to dance and if it rains 
the heart of day will hurl a rainbow 
upon my huipil and my eyes. 
When lightning falls, the sky burns, 
I open my lizard mouth to drink its fire.
