    Mala Suerte
    By Abhin Kurella and Ian Sauter

    Mala Suerte
    Bad luck
    Mala aire
    Wandering in the dark

    At any given moment


    The fists try to speak
    Tears at the end of the long night
    If they are lucky

    This man who farts and belches and Snores


    What a disgrace
    This lord, this keeper, this rival
    Till Kingdom Come

    “A good man”
    She has to remind herself
    Who laughs loudly
    Curses like a man
    “This is the man I have waited my whole life for”

    Not that he isn’t a good man


    This husband
    This master
    “Why can’t you just leave me in peace?”

    She thinks of her father’s house


    The town of gossips
    The murmur of talk
    The Huddled whispering on the church steps
    How could she go back?
    What would the neighbors say?
    What a disgrace

    The river’s namesake


    The weeping woman
    La llorona
