tunes its harp and the crickets
celebrate life, I am like a troubadour

and hurting. I admire my father
who always has advice in these matters,
but a game of chess won't do, or
the frivolity of religion.

write letters, poems, and sometimes

and sometimes, mysteriously,
I feel whole. — Luis Omar Salinas
