              |  | Each Early Morning[at the puerto]
 on one side the neighbor's dog is barking loudly
 
 |  |  |  |  
                |  |  |  | while on the opposite side a child is crying over the blare
 from the television
 |  |  
                |  | too soon, well before dawn,the daily rhythm of the puerto
 will begin anew with the
 
 dub-dub-dub motor sounds
 of the first fishing boats to depart
 |  |  |  |  
                |  |  | while half the world is sleepingor trying to
 |  |  
                |  | and somewhere, an old womanis guarding the ghosts of thoughts
 
 |  |  |  
                |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
