Crime Scene

<p>Cynthia Pelayo sings a song for the least of us the victim we want to forget as soon as possible the one who disappeared before ever really appearing. With a fairy tale gaze and a heart bigger than the world her siren song insinuates itself past our defenses past the hardened calluses and apathy we've erected to protect ourselves from the everyday horror of another missing girl. </p><p><br></p><p>Pelayo relates the familiar story poem by poem; a body is found a brutal crime investigated clues take us in circles and lead us nowhere. We are on an epic journey the hero's journey and it must play out to the end in all its painful ticking moments. Pelayo imbues her hero Agent K with the entirety of our dedication and that crumb of hope we've been hiding saving for later. We will need to save for years for decades if we want to come out the other side. The job takes its toll the answers are never complete and whys fracture crack and spread. Still there is no turning away. We must bear witness though it changes and contorts us.</p>
