This cigarette butt
This little bit of ground coffee
This cherry yogurt
This fistful
These chamomile flowers
These grains of rice
This ration of semolina pasta
These two fingers of olive oil
This piece of old bread
This chunk of parmesan cheese
That rose in the waters of the Aniene
This bronchial roar
This cold that digs in
This anger that infected me last night
because of the Roman girl’s treachery
These knives
Víctor Valera Mora (1935 - 1984) Venezuela
