SUZANNE and AMBER
Always, my luck has startled me.

AMBER
This morning, for example, the cat,
sensing sadness, jumps into my lap
and kneads his paws so I will
praise him.

ANN
“A little gift,”

CANDY
Her mother called it whenever the habitual turned
wondrous.
AMBER
I pat the cat’s sleek fur,
the purring so close to what I am feeling,
his lick cleansing my forearm
and in the distance, the doctor’s
careful hold as he lifts me from the bed.

(Patricio steps forward.)

A lilting poem for the stage, follows the passionate meeting of a man and woman who share neither language nor culture, yet fall in love. Through the rhythmic blending of language and song, the play combines poetry and both traditional and original melodies to illuminate this romantic union that ultimately overcomes geography and tradition.
