That's her name. At least she thinks it is. She's been with
Uncle for eight years now so her memories are dim. She remembers
someone taking her away from her parents on a crowded bus. And she
remembers the man who found her the next day. He told her to call
him Uncle and she has been with him ever since. They go from town
to town throughout Guatemala begging on the streets. It is not a
great life but the only one she knows. He tells her to be grateful
to him for taking care of her for so long. He tells her to forget
her life before. She is now Rosa. But down deep she knows.
Her name is Colibri. |
