“A brown, shock-haired youth” who stands outside Laura’s house and sings “like a lost soul” for hours on end. He introduces the concept of Judas flower, which, as Lupe tells Laura, she must throw at him to make him leave. Instead, he begins to follow Laura around town and leaves her poems. He is also one of the organizers of the local Typographers Union and therefore straddles progressive politics and local tradition.
