Four tiny legs

A meek old soul

GOOD IDEA: A GUEST SCREED

A SCREED

They are right-Guns don’t kill people.

They are wrong==People don’t kill people. Bullets kill people.

Bullets from an A-45, TRAVELING AT 2500 FEET PER SECOND,

rip into the human body and smash organs; break bones;

splatter blood, brain matter, and tissue. Designed

to do such devastation in adult bodies,

imagine what they do to tiny, still-forming children’s bodies.

At Uvalde, authorities had to use parents’ DNA

to identify mutilated children.

Es inútil desvanecerlos cuando, en alguien, existen tantos escombros y ruinas. Unos, asustados, optan por sumergir sus pedazos en el fango, en la confusión, en la amnesia, mientras otros, en tanto, prefieren borrar sus rasgos, eliminar sus nombres, con la intención de desterrarlos; sin embargo, siempre regresan a casa, acaso porque se saben parte de la misma y, en consecuencia, se alojan en los recintos…
