Answer:

Hopeful.

Step-by-step explanation:

Diana Garcia's poem "On Leaving" is a short poem of two-lined stanzas narrating the speaker's journey to escape the migrant worker's life. The poem talks of escaping away from home, and the train journey that will be the building factor for her resilience.

The given lines are from the 8th stanza of the poem where the speaker recalls the advice from her cousins about the "coyotes wearing yellow bandanas". It is these people that she must be aware of, for they are "from our region" and they are safe. These words present a hopeful tone, in that the speaker wishes to encounter such people so that she will be safe.
