Triple Jay

Ambos están convencidos
de que el súbito amor les unió.
Tan firme seguridad es bella,
pero aún más bella es la inseguridad.

Hiroshima

Houses and trees were leveled as far as the eye could see, and fires began breaking out in the ruins. At the roadside I saw the corpse of a man who had been leading a horse cart, still on his feet, with his hair standing on end like wire…. The river was filled with the dead and half-dead; burned children were screaming, ‘Mommy! Mommy!’ and mothers searched for their children, calling their names in faltering voices.

Desde Darfur

Muéstrame tu nada
que dejaste en herencia,
y reconstruiré un bosque y una autopista,
un aeropuerto, mezquindad, ternura,
y una casa desaparecida.

¿Fraternidad?

Con esperanza el mundo mira más que escucha.
Sonreír es el deber de los hombres de estado.
Con la sonrisa aseguran no perder en la lucha.
El juego es complejo, los intereses varios,
el resultado incierto, pero -está demostrado-
una dentadura blanca y cordial suple salarios.

Sexto día: 5 gramos de creatina

De poses y dones hace exhibición.
Con treinta muecas enrosca el abdomen.
El público aplaude, saluda el bravucón
que corre a devorar pócimas de polen.

Indian Affairs

Estimates range from about 10 – 90 million Native Americans inhabited America at the time of the European arrivals. They had lived in the land many, many years before white man set foot on their soil. It is believed that during the ice age, they had traveled a land-bridge across the Bering Sound, from Siberia into what is now Alaska. They had gradually migrated across the land and southward into Mexico and beyond. There are currently more than 2.48 million Native Americans, according to the 2000 census bureau.

Chandra

No necesito esperar una noche serena,
ni alzar la cabeza
para contemplar el cielo.
Lo tengo a mi espalda, a mano y en los párpados.
El cielo me arrebuja todo
y, desde abajo, me hace flotar.
