LA BELLA
for Isolina Alfaro
This is the time, during the war,
la bella started wearing rainbow
dresses.
To some they looked like ordinary
clothing
but to those who loved, the dresses
contained all the colors of the rainbow.
When the beautiful one was a child
she thought she could
touch the stars from a hilltop
and they would feel sharp and warm.
