"i will bear open my chest if it will spark another precarious revolution". Thank you for this verse. It is all I can say.

Hi Annie. This is a beautiful piece, exquisitely written as per usual. I really enjoyed your choice to use poetry as your blog medium. I also really enjoyed the imagery and senses you invoked/provoked in me, like "the same beams of sunlights in the dryest airs." I loved the end especially,

"mother, you would love to be here, i think

but let me turn 20 in your arms"

My mom is arriving in Lima in 9 days, and I just really relate to the sentiment of wanting to share this experience with those at home, and missing them.
