Part I
When are you coming home? When will I see you?
No se.
No se mañana … no se del día después no se.
I don’t know. I don’t know about tomorrow nor overmorrow, the day after. I don’t know.
I don’t know nor understand the habitual guilt that drudges along near the beginning or middle of a visit home.
No entiendo el remordimiento que casualmente acompaña cada cena, salida, o visita.
Not anymore, I’m worn.
Tú, ven. Tú visita.
You explore, you endure.
