Cien Años de Soledad
Remains outstanding
I only now noticed
That Cesar is gone, too.
I didn’t know him.
We only discussed
Gabriel Garcîa Marquez
And what it meant to be owned by a story
Knocked over by its tsunami
and dragged across the shoreline.
Return the book
To any school library
So I can know
It’s safe.
