Mediodía
At evening, in bed.
Her knife beat the wooden board
to the repicador's rhythm. Saloma
howls and accordions filled the house
with a soul that smelled like the
simmering gravy for carne guisada.
Alex, tráeme más pimientos del jardín, por favor.
When will the food be done, Abuela?
Al mediodía mi niño,
al mediodía.
