Juan Octavio Prenz - CHILDREN’S STORIES

As a child I lived a story
A misture of the four
elements and a lot of other things

With a certain adolescent innocence
I then wrote the story.
Later I wrote about writing the story.

Now all I have is the story of writing.
Other stories no longer take place

Left behind in chilhood’s decline.
