chile verte up to page 130

"MArgarita prays
for her 22-year-old brother, Ricky-
run over, late night, by a full truch
Next to 7/11

Sometimes, from a small envelope
she pulls out his broken bones,

or she finds his torn fingers
at the bottom of a cup of coffee"
(124)


This quote remeinds me of how after something huge happens you cna find sadness in small places. Doing everyday things without giving them a sounddt thoguh and then somthing liek that hits you"at the bottom of a cup of coffee" And this quote jsut struck me as ridiculously sad. And thats why it stuck out abecasue it so sad and so real and shwos how saddness can relaly take over your life at soem points
