This collection of poems portrays the voice of an old child who, between nostalgia and joy, perceives a fragile and decaying world. Despite that, from his gaze and his words, the outside does not allow itself to be magical and open to other possibilities. Although its author comes to Mexican literature at an advanced age, this text is still a breath of fresh air. Apparently simple poetry, but with a depth about life that is sometimes only reached over a slow fire.
