The sun shines down upon this small village br The golden locks of wild grass on irrigated land br illuminated like an accentuated contemporary painting br Small adobe houses upon acres of land br spread out like poppy seeds upon a muffin br The small general store with bushels of food br is the place where everyone gathers br Secrets fly like birds heading south for the winter br Everyone is known and everything is known br A woman with the features of someone br who has already come of age walks up holding br a basket ready to be filled with essentials br walks up to the front of the general store br whispering sounds of the entrance of this enchanted beauty br br 'There is Ms. Vasquez... she is such a good daughter. br Her mother lays in bed with countless ailments and br she stays even though she has a bright life br hanging over her head.
