girls
a flash of small teeth
in a fleeting grin
a giggle tinkling like a splash of water over random rocks
a quick sideways glance to my cousin
our eyes meet and whisper to each other
we share a secret now
a magic moment of joy
in an otherwise endless day
the gringa, she doesn't
know we put one over on her
her coins feel like jewels held tightly in the palm of my hand
hard and smooth, something to hold on to
shiny like the sun's light reflecting on a car window
round as a polished stone from the river
I will show mama and
she will give me the warm smile
that I seldom see
and hold my face close to her breasts in a smothering hug
that I will feel around me in the night
after she is asleep and has forgotten
