Salvadoran Goodbye

" I'm going to kill ya when I'm older."

" You have the right kid"

" You brought people pain"

" I tend to do that, so will you"

He nods and I nod back.

The kid wasn't born with as much as style as I but i figure in a couple years with enough
life under his belt he will indulge.

LIFE GOES ON


"Kid you're older and I'm tired but I'm ready for more. Whats the play?"

" You're alright old man I forgive you"

" I was wrong about you kid. You're still a fucking coward."

The next day i die and my son buries me.

I miss him.
