"Sin Planes (No Planes)" read by artist/poet Ana Maria Hernando

Kansas City, MO –

Excerpt from "Sine Planes (No Plans)"

Suavements me alvida,
I softly forget,
y el amanecer que esperaba
and the sunrise I was waiting for
en elf fondo del rio
at the bottom of the river
se nubla
gets clouded.

Vista vapores de gaza y celofan
I dress in vapors of gauze and cellophane.
