The Meneses Family - 1927
I wrote this in 1999 after reading Elmore Leonard's CUBRA LIBRE and trying to read Jose Marti's poems in original Spanish. I learned a little. Now, 23 years later I still don't understand about the Cuban Blood I have in my veins...
Cuban Blood
At fifty, he read this book. Something about Cuba and the revolution. It had never mattered before. But now, he wondered about his blood. At ten (in 1958!) he had listened, patiently, he thought for a (HYPERACTIVE) ten year old, to his grandfather talk about Cuba and his brothers, in the hills, fighting.
