MIGUEL ANGEL FLORES

 

 

The Woman that Loved

 

I can’t remember

what the woman I loved was like

nor the city were we dreamt

Of those days

broken memory

Plus time has been sown

with the dust

of an unrecognized eternity

 

 

 

[From Contrasuberna. (Against the Tide), Mexico City. Mortiz. 1981.
