THE CLOWNS Luis Cuauhtemoc Berriozabal © 2008

She paints her face like a clown. She was always fearful of clowns.  So now she joins them, makes up her face like the clowns she saw on TV, while her mother and father fought and screamed in the next room. She would turn up the volume when it was too much for her. The laughing clown's voice got in her ears and would never stop. She still hears them, the screaming and fighting, even if they're divorced and far away.
