Weeping
I stood close
As I could get
To your bones
In the crypt
In Santa Clara
Where lacy ferns
Inspired by your
Revolutionary
Gardener
soulmate
Celia Sanchez
Threw
Green shadows
On the walls.
For so long we did not know
Where your assassins
Buried you.
But your brother “Faithful”*
Found the desolate hole
Beside an airport
Runway
In a distant country
Dug you up
And  brought you
Home
To us.

Though they took your healer’s
Hands
That comforted so many
They did not succeed
In destroying
Your rebel spirit
And renegade heart.
These survive
In us.  Humans who
As long as strength
Lasts
Recognize
And defend
All
Other

Abused

Humans

As our tribe.

*“Fidel”
*It is possible that if Artificial Intelligence robots have one blessing it will be to enlighten humans to the reality
That we are One tribe.

Arriving in Life with apparently nothing; we can leave with everything. Who is still alive in this photo? There are no words, really. Only: thank you for the love. ~aw

Llorando
me paré tan cerca
como pude
a tus huesos
en la cripta
en Santa Clara
donde encajes de helechos
inspiración de tu
jardinera
y revolucionaria
alma gemela
Celia Sánchez,
arrojaban
verdes sombras
sobre los muros.
Por largo tiempo no supimos
adónde tus asesinos
te habían enterrado.
Pero tu hermano “fiel” *
encontró el agujero solitario
junto a la pista
de un aeropuerto
en un lejano país

te desenterró
y te trajo
a casa
con nosotros.

Aunque cortaron tus manos
de curador
que confortaron a tantos
no tuvieron éxito
en destruir
tu espíritu insurrecto
y tu corazón rebelde.
Estos sobreviven
en nosotros. Seres humanos que
mientras dure
la fuerza
reconocemos
y defendemos
a todos
los demás

seres humanos

atropellados

como la tribu nuestra.

* “Fidel”

* Es posible que si los robots con inteligencia artificial tengan una bendición sea aclarar la realidad a los seres humanos

que somos una Sola Tribu.

Llegando a la vida con nada al parecer, podemos partir con todo. ¿Quién está todavía vivo en esta foto? No hay palabras, realmente. Solamente: gracias por el amor. ~aw
