also use her narrative skills to remind us that parallel to our placid and comfortable existence is another, invisible universe, one where poverty, misery and torture are all too real."
-Patricia Hart, The Nation

Peruvian child
• By Pat Mora

Pat Mora• A Chicana author
known primarily for her poetry and chil-dren’s books.
• Cultural preserva-tionist
She whispered to the doll with no face,Smoothed the red and blue scrapsOf cloth on the path, ironed them with her hand,Wrapped and re-wrapped the doll, hairMud-tangled as the child’s, and the dog’sAnd the llama’s that followed the child’sSmall bare feet after she bundled the dollIn the striped manta on her backDescriptive language
Peruvian ChildStill in the middle of my path is the ChildWith no smile who stared at us. Her eyesEven then the eyes of women who sell chickensAnd onions in outdoor markets. The womenWho stare at us as if we are guards.
Mood : fear
The matted group stood by the edge of the springWatching us drink clear, holy water of the Inca,A fountain of youth, our guide said.We wanted, as usual, to hold a picture Of the child in a white border, not to hold herMud-crusted hands or feet or face,Not to hold her, the child in our arms.
Figurative language
irony
