Translated by Norman Thomas di Giovanni in collaboration with the author
These events took place at La Colorada ranch, in the southern part of the township of Junin, during the last days of March 1928. The protagonist was a medical student named Baltasar Espinosa.

For H.
What of this wonder that kisses are
Our kisses neverending.
That sound of taste

Legs arms intertwined
Fingers on fingers

Lips and teeth on a shoulder
Ear me, sore and joyous
What music.
What of it?

The National - The Geese of Beverly Road
We'll take ourselves out in the street
And wear the blood in our cheeks
Like red roses
We'll go from car to sleeping car
And whisper in their sleeping ears
We were here, we were here
We'll set off the geese of Beverly Road
Hey, love, we'll get away with it
We'll run like we're awesome, totally genius
Hey, love, we'll get away with it
We'll run like we're awesome
We won't be disappointed
We'll fight like girls for our place at the table
Our room on the floor
We'll set off the geese of Beverly Road
Hey, love,...
