K A R M E L O C . I R I B A R R E N
translated by Mark Ostrowski
You wanted sincerity above
all else. That between
us, you said, there would
never be perfidies
or secrets. That doubt
would never settle in our
hearts. You wanted sincerity,
at any price. And as far as I
know, that is all I did,
be sincere, when I told you
that I had spent a night
with your friend. So now I
don't know what to make of
these insults, or these rabid
looks, or these tears. Sincerely,
I don't know who you think you are.
