Like a Ball
by Ana Galán (Y3E, 2006-07)

He has childish eyes.
I like his gaze.
It is so clear,
It is so peaceful…
He was my love!
As a child,
he liked played with me.
He took me like a ball.
I flew in the sky,
then I felt down on the grass.
Be careful my boy!
My heart was trembling.
He flung me to the sky.
It was amazing!
But, I fell down again.
There were sharp stones.
My heart was broken.
Take care of your ball!

Gabriel Orozco Ball on Water, 1994
