Difference Between Folliculitis And Herpes

Occupation Gelabert, Monica Pedemonte

This doll is mine
I found
lost in a minefield in Vietnam,
was alone in a Jewish house
of a suburb of Hamburg
the thirty-ninth year, was for

niece of this soldier died
of the International Brigades,
that he studied at Oxford
and never seen again.
I assure you it was not Barbie
or Mariquita Perez.
I know it's mine,
because it had eyes, he lost

in Sarajevo and I added some small
a tin soldier
of the First World War.

I belong because I had no heart
smashed it
in the Plaza de Mayo,
and I lent him mine.
