Tranqui

By Rosabetty Muñoz
Translated By Claudia Nuñez de Ibieta
You’ll know your father.
He’s a narrow lane of tall homes
            and dark windows.
Of this kind found on the islands.
In the last window, a light.
And one walks the whole street
and all the rooms
to find that light.
 
Translated from the Spanish
