Building Houses

 

You've been building houses for a long time, 

with your own hands and mind, in your own terms.

Building up, sideways, downward 

and into the veins of a broken tree.

Now you are 13...

(trece inviernos y trece primaveras)

May you continue building the most incredible life, 

your very own unique way, Tenoch.
