a site of sorcery & words


poem by emily

(yesterday)

seems like wind...
wishes in the coldness
an end to murder
la tortura

there is speaking & singing...

cruces blancos con
los nombres de los muertos

Lakota prayers & sage smoke
Mayan blessings/Buddhist chants

cantan los nombres; caminamos

walking with the nuns & priests

like concentration camp -- grey buses
we are loaded on & taken away --

la policia tienen hambre
por sangre

Nunca Mas
Nunca Mas

----------------------------------------

Ayer

sage smoke fogs eyes
hunger for blood in the coldness
it is here, we are the murdered

la policia
burn white crosses

torture nuns & priests

we chant: never again, never again

And the wind takes us away
