El Coto <strong>La</strong>urel<br />
Dinner with mom<br />
And with tía Carmín<br />
Consists of a heavy soup<br />
We call sancocho<br />
It consists of stories<br />
About the exquisiteness<br />
<strong>Of</strong> grandmother’s cooking<br />
How she stretched a sliver of onion<br />
And little garlic cloves<br />
During the Second World War<br />
Enough to cook a pot<br />
<strong>Of</strong> beans for two nights<br />
How the taste of those beans<br />
Could never be duplicated<br />
Dinner with mom<br />
And with tía Carmín<br />
Consists of a warm sunset<br />
White curtains flowing<br />
<strong>In</strong> the kitchen<br />
Annoying mosquitoes<br />
Under the table<br />
And highball glasses<br />
Filled with passion juice<br />
