A letter · From the family
The song the kitchen
closes on.
Some nights the last comal cools, the salsas go to the walk-in, the lights drop to half. Mama puts this melody on. It is not Mexican. It is not from Monclova. But it is what the family listens to when the day's work is done. Pasen, por favor — listen with us.
Hallelujah · instrumental, licensed via royalty-free arrangement.
The chord progression is Leonard Cohen's; the song is a benediction.
We'll see you tomorrow. Querida.
