This week on the internet, I read about another victim, a young schoolteacher tortured, raped and thrown into the river, only twenty, the same age as one of my daughters. Little green sapling, little dissident. Someone is already awake while the rest of the world sleeps. Coffee in the percolator, an egg on the stove. Roosters scalloped cries deflecting to the tin roofs. The industry of women hanging up the wash. Do you wonder why they beat the laundry on the stones with so much sorrow and fervor. - Luisa Aguilar Igloria
