Cynthia Ann Parkers family moved to Central Texas when she was about nine years old. A year later, a large force of Comanche warriors attacked Fort Parker and seized Cynthia Ann and four other captives. The other four were eventually released, but she lived among the Indians for 25 years, immersed in the Comanche way of life. Though given a number of opportunities to go back to her white family, she always chose her life with the Comanche, choosing instead to stay with her husband and children. She eventually returned to white society as an adult.

«En la soledad, el abismo» recopila en versos todo lo que no puede recopilarse en abrazos, esa ausencia indescriptible y el doloroso miedo de la fragilidad humana.

Espero que puedas encontrar la tuya en el mío y, así, juntas, nuestras soledades bailarán su vals acompasadas.
