I love the motif and the ambiguity of those involved (I can't quite tell if it's a conversation between the first speaker and her mother, or the speaker and her own daughter). But the hint at a circle of happenings leaves me thinking about all sorts of things. And I like it!Magaly Guerrerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18295455026184103230noreply@blogger.com
