Buenos Aires A Tale of Two Cities
2
Mapping the New Reality Through Poetry and
Photography
dawn breaks fog of ash upon land of ash
3
I breathe grief, sitting on the empty plateat
the brink of history.

The cooking pot, direct descendent of the witchs
cauldron, appeared on the scene as an instrument
of transformation and change.

I wake up in the nightnot long asleep a
rustle of plastic bags
the family searches and rummages about in what we
always call La Basura
6
Buenos Aires, imperturbableseemsunaware,
anchored to the glorious past

When I was a girl Argentinawas General San
Martín
Later Argentina tasted to me of sad wine
