She was a song played on a cracked harmonica by a blind beggar in the bus station, a broken string on a Spanish guitar chording Malaguena an hour before dawn. She was accustomed to apologize and knew it was her own fault she bruised so easily. She was twelve and will never be thirteen. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

That was very intense...good write about a horrible thing. I felt that in my solar plexus. Lori |

Whoa! Taking it to the limit here, my friend. My kind of poetry. Gritty. Real. ~ Even if you are on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.--Will Rogers ~ |

Oh, and by the way, Nan, I had to look up Malaguena - and of course, like the rest of the world, I knew the music - just didn't know its name - and oh what exquisite music it is! Owl |

She was the song of innocence but her tune was manipulated and left unsung. This is heartbreaking and impressive. Love, Margherita |
