A Poem for My Mother and all Mothers of The Disappeared

"

My Soul is born on the shore of your eyes of mourning

In your eyes of mourning The Land of Dreams begins

How you must have suffered getting accustomed to me, my savage, solitary soul

My name that sends them all running

I who lived in a harbor from which I loved you

Penned up between the Sea and Sadness

Here I love you

and the Horizon hides you in vain

...

I am the one without hope

the word without echoes

he who lost everything

and he who had everything

"
