Poems

Guantanamo written

when i knew that in the Base they kill
with Dryboarding (death by asphyxiation),
I thought of the inmates
 
talibans,
yemenites,
 
who there were.
 
i thought above all, of my brother José
that is not a taliban nor a yemenite,
but lives in the Caribbean,
an Area very distant from the Base.
 
i thought and don’t it deny, of my brother,
that dies daily from asphyxiation.
