PRELUDIO de Maricel Jiménez Peña ©

Me extendió la mano invitando y la tomé.  Su brazo, firme, agarró mi espalda y con el mío correspondí; dejando inclinar mi cuerpo hacia el suyo.  Del abrazo surgió un movimiento.  Lado a lado nos mecimos; un vaivén como las olas del mar.  Mis pies esperaban su intención, ansiosos.  ¿Cuándo?  ¿Qué?  Me ardía la curiosidad.  Sentí su pecho dirigirme.  Sutilmente…

MORE

The more I think about it, the more I realize, the problem with society today is: More (the pun is absolutely intentional). The human population of the world is divided into two basic groups: Those who have MORE and those who don't have ENOUGH. As living creatures, we have an inherent right to survive and endure.
