PROTECT ME, MY TALISMAN, by                    
First Line: Marta we found the little box


Marta we found the little box
that one morning she buried in the sand,
in the garden, in the keyboard, marta
an unfinished human figure carries
what remains of her accent, but
she always asked facing a window pane, but
we weren't there and the dress fell
to the asphalt marta there was a mark from
scarlet fever where the chest begins, the
double justice, the double cage,
the feathered mother we leave.
