Deyni sent me a text today.
Her English leaves a lot to be desired.
My Spanish is a total of five or six words.

We manage with online translations.

She most always begins with;
Hola rudy
Como esta
Soy deyni

I process images stored in my head:
Deyni at the waterfalls,
or standing with an active volcano,
steam rising in the background

I have no idea whether she has
stored any images of me
in her head

if I have hope of one,
it would be of me,
walking beside her
to the outdoor market

with no worries about
gangs,
for they know her father
well
