When I was very young
I stayed at my uncle’s house
In Southern Spain
As the nights were so warm
I shared the biggest bedroom
With Ana Sol my much older cousin
She was studying Political Theory
At the university in the city
And rose early to catch the train
My cousin had some strange habits
One of which was standing fully naked
In front of the great window
In the middle of the night
Staring at the red moon
I often watched her
And to this day I am not aware
Whether she cared or not
When I moved back to England
I lost contact with my cousins
Which was sad as Ana Sol
Vanished in the Amazon in 1996
Extensive searches were conducted
At the time of her disappearance
But she was never found
Although recently reports have surfaced
Of a wild white woman being seen
In the area where was last seen alive
