I Can Hear Our Hope Breathing

i am la guiri
i am here, living
i am beginning to enjoy it more & more
slowly
cafe con leche
evening icecream
late night flamenco
calamari
yogurt for dessert
naan
vintage shops (even in Spain!)
working with the homeless
night walking
here
thinking
living
breathing
hoping
smiling
la guiri.

"Not only is another world possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing."
