Visual Orphans


I have neither mother nor father
to pity my sorrow.
I am an orphan.
All alone I bear torment and disgrace
in the depths of my soul.
Such was the pain
of not finding a good woman
who would fill this great void,
which they left behind,
with tender love."
-- When Frida Kahlo was in Paris,
Pablo Picasso taught her this song, which
she often sang for Diego Rivera or for friends.
It is called El Huérfano(The Orphan).
