Problem Child

Penn State’s Alternative Literary Magazine

Home… a remembrance

little girl’s dreams pinky bubbles
are never enough to enjoy
when mother’s depression
and papa’s ailing heart
burst them all
bringing in
real life’s cruelty
…..maría learns in the capital city..
far away from the dunes
far away from the ocean
far away from the fishermen’s songs
…..run back to her little girl’s dreams…..pinky bubbles
…..catch your sueños y las pompas de jabón
