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

I was going to write something original but I agree with you completely Caroline. The same lines stood out to me. Beautiful imagery and rhythm.
