Querencias = homing instincts
on a map we can draw all the lines
horizontal straight diagonal
from the Greenwich Meridian to the Gulf of Mexico
that more or less
comprise the quirks of our identity
there are also maps so large, so very large
in our imagination
and globes that go on forever
marta
but today I suspect that on a ver small, minute
map
sketched on a piece of notebook paper
we could fit all of our history
all of it
