Juan Garrido-Salgado # 26- Extract of a dialogue with my grandmother

Extracto de un diálogo con mi abuela

Estoy aquí en la casa de la patria
la abuela se queja de su pie izquerdo;
le duele, le arde , no la deja dormir...

La TV es una ventana semi-cerrada
donde entra un aire raro de tanta imagen como un huracán 
llevando la conversación sorda
con la abuela que se queja de la vida
le duele, le arde y no la deja dormir...



Extract of a dialogue with my grandmother

I'm here in the house of my homeland.

Grandmother complains about her left foot;
it hurts, it burns, will not let her sleep ...
The TV is an semi-closed window
where a rare air of such image comes as a hurricane
bringing the conversation deaf
with grandmother complains of life
it hurts, it burns and does not let her sleep ...

  1. So sad - but I can see grandmother and the room. I really like how the first line places you and engages.
