These Hills tell the Story - Liliana Berumen

The night was cold over the Southwestern hills

I miss holding his rings

to imagine their labeled as mine

but we learned of the lies from love and fate

So, I can’t bring myself to leave the house

and walk into the streets:

bare breasted and open armed.
