To my great aunts

Summers in Buenos Aires in Lanús, my great aunts' house lifting tiles looking for worms and playing in the backyard. They made me tea with powdered milk and crackers for a snack, the two seamstresses, in their kitchen the pedal-operated Singer sewing machines and denim fabrics with which they made me some crafts. My aunt Esther always asked me, do you want me to draw something for you? She drew women's faces with long eyelashes and 1950s hairstyles, pretty faces that were in fashion when she was young and that she doodled repeatedly to entertain me. The emotional thing about those summers that faded are those images embroidered in my mind to this day, without realizing it, those women with hairstyles from the 50s are still alive for me and so are my great aunts.
