45 days from Honduras with the coyotes the ones that — well
you know what they did to las chicas
right there in front of us so what were we supposed
to do and the trains the trains how can I tell you hermana
hundreds
of us like chickens like gophers in cages and vegetables
rotting on trains of thousands you hear me of thousands and
they slid
from the rooftops and the deserts of Arizona and Texas thirst
and hunger
thirst and hunger two things thirst and hunger day after day
hermana
