When You Deworm A Puppy What Happends

Stella Maris Vence, Dodge Street your steps ...

My grandmother,

Ten Juana Bermudez

elusive street your steps

the facade of the old house but

back to your profile

colony

braided hair

the hollow of your arms

back to the warm milk in the afternoon

and want to sleep and wake up your eyes

nothing is lost

when the memory is not enough

never understood that farewell

alien face you put

so many people and nobody

and you and I

without tears
