I left my country
fear of dying threatened me.
My daughter saw the blood.
She saw the murderers.
Enough!
They killed my husband.
Now we must go.
*
I am responsible for my mother.
My father is dead.
I have nothing for support
in El Salvador.
I want to work.
I want to see my mother.
We have family here
brothers and sisters
aunts and uncles
grandparents too
I only hope to be with them soon.
Mother
Ya! Me voy! [Enough, I go!]
