“Hubo un lugar donde los dos desapareciaron
Donde susurraban los secretos de su deseo
Se miraban a través de la oscuridad
Se admiraban y en silencio de decían:
Amor te quiero
Sabes que te deseo
Amor nos iremos de aquí un día
La pesadilla que nos ata desaparecerá”
― Ana-Maurine Lara, Erzulie's Skirt
