By German Dario
how his Mother heard the news
when it fell on her doorstep
how her breast must have hurt
how she died soon after him
how the sun came up exploding
a horizon with him gone
and
how the moon every night after
and how his body touched the pavement
one
last
time
how we never heard him laugh again
how
sober he abused
the space between us
how he was was a child
always
how i gave him aguardiente
when he was little
how the root of his addiction
wakes me up at night
how the last shot to his head was
not
necessary
