- "Cada vida es una historia,"
said Iris’s abuelo this afternoon at their house in La Trinidad. It has been
over 22 years since we last saw them. Their backyard garden has guanabana, mango,
lemon, grapefruit, orange trees that reach up beyond our heads now, decades hence. Across
the street from our former house in what’s called La Trinidad, at the foothills below
Las Minas and before La California’s condominiums. A southern stretch of undeveloped
valleys, hyper capital between 1979-1981, to school through empty fog every morning in the
mountains.
