Toad – Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm

Four tiny legs
Bearing a big belly
In a patchy brown coat
A meek old soul

Sitting in a hole
Remembering so
The droughts of old
The calls for rain.

GOOD IDEA: A GUEST SCREED

NANMYKEL.COM

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.

Let people keep their guns. Ban ammunition.

The Constitution makes no mention of bullets

or ammunition. Banning ammunition would prevent

En un paraje secreto -quizá la conciencia, probablemente los recuerdos, tal vez uno mismo-, donde flotan ecos, sombras y destellos, rumores y silencios, atrapados en un ambiente desconocido, que parecen naufragar en una desolación trágica, en la desmemoria, aparentemente desarticulados y sin identidad ni fechas, y que algunos hombres y mujeres quisieran desterrar de sí, convertir en residuos que se van para no volver más, uno se encuentra frente a sus expedientes, completamente desnudo. 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…
