Day 4: Four-Leaf Clovers

When I was little,

I remember sitting in the grass

with my mom, looking for

four-leaf clovers

.

It’s one of the few nice moments with her

that I remember very clearly.

She tried to do lots of things,

but alcohol always got in the way.

.

This Spring, I was in a park

with my best friend, in Barcelona

looking for four-leaf clovers

.

A stranger stole my backpack

and I never even saw their face

que raro, to feel that you’ve lost something dear

While searching for luck.
