Ode to my Mother

De malinha pronta

You are the roots of the most beautiful tree
The branches and the fallen leaves too
Your inconditional love
Heals our deepest wounds
And your long arms
Wrap us in an endless hug
Beyond distance and time
You go through harsh winters
Always with a smile
And hot summers
Are way less brighter
Than your inner light
That keeps shining
No matter what.

Los días pasados y los actuales, han alterado las notas de la vida, y no es por el destino ni por el tiempo. La guerra continúa con su rostro deforme e irreconocible, casi sin que lo note la gente que está tan distraída y desconoce que, junto con otros miles de millones de seres humanos, se ha convertido en prueba de laboratorio, en ensayo perverso, en producción en serie, en estadística. El agua, el oxígeno, la tierra y los alimentos, en el mundo, se agotan, al mismo tiempo que manos ambiciosas, crueles y egoístas -las mismas que crearon los desórdenes y propician el caos, el odio, las enfermedades, los enfrentamientos, la destrucción, los antagonismos y la muerte- acaparan los recursos naturales y minerales y acumulan fortunas y poder inmensos que contrastan con el hambre, las carencias económicas y las…

I Wear Your Skin

yaskhan

Sister, I wear your skin
I feel your unspoken pain
The anger of a simmering flame
I feel your fears
I see unshed tears
You have to fight to belong
You have to be strong
Sister, I feel the rape of honour
I feel my skin crawl at the destructive macabre .

Brother, I wear your skin
I feel the words in your throat
I feel you speaking bright, colored
I feel your heart beating
I feel your hope fleeting
I feel you tear inside
But then, you have to decide
You’d rather explode
And feel the inner applause .

I wear your skin
I wear all the metaphors for pain .

Ann and Anna, (serial short story, Part 3): Trust

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

 

   Part 2 was last Sunday…

     The apple in my mouth turned to bile, as the smell of corn and tobacco mingled with the odor of my own fear.  My entire body began to tremble, my hand shaking almost uncontrollably.  It moved as if of its own accord, seeking out the solace of my sewing basket.  What I began hours ago, I would finish, now, before those horses arrived, carrying a far worse fate with them.  I was drawing the scissors out of my basket when a shadow fell across me.  The moon had just come out, and Anna had stood up, still leaning against the wagon:

 

     “Right on time.”

 

     She looked from my wide eyes to my sewing basket, nodding toward my still bloody left forearm.

 

     “You didn’t really think I’d stop here and just wait on those patrollers to…
