The Woman Who Outshown the
Sun
from a poem by Alejandrp Cruz
Martinez
| came to a place | |
| greatly surprised | |
| ready to give pain to others | |
| an excited condition | |
| honor; esteem | |
| was lit and bright | |
| kept secret watch | |
| a dry, uncomfortable feeling in the mouth caused by having had nothing to drink | |
| compassion | pity; feeling for another's sorrow or hardship that leads to help |
| despair | the loss of hope |
| dignity | a sense of pride and self-respect |
| refuge | shelter or protection from danger or trouble |
