About Caribbean torpor

 



About Caribbean torpor


Not predatory

Not scavenger

Guardian only

Today I saw a dog die

in a video


Nobody was afraid

Not even who killed him

Not even his companions

Had a steady pulse

who recorded the video


Much less the domestic wolf

He attacked quickly and head on.

He withstood two rifle shots

He died attacking with the third

He got himself killed for his home


A home that he did not own

Very few dogs have land ownership papers

They don't think either

They act on instinct

Experts say


I do not believe that any rabbi, priest, imam, preacher or pastor

Can accuse the dog of being a sinner

It was his instinct they will say

I shall add this:

It was fierce, sacred, and beautiful


Like a jaguar fang

Like the glyph that sometimes distinguishes their skins

That is the sign of perfection

Which must necessarily be eternal

and act without haste


My country is young

Very short of memories

We know almost nothing before Spanish

We know very little about before Bolívar

About the Indians and the blacks we make fools of ourselves


We are not capable of perennial love or hatred

Why fight over something that happened so long ago?

Few know the names of all their great-grandparents

We have neither monarchy nor nobility

Just some nouveau riche who live far away


The Indians around here did not build pyramids or empires

I think because of the Caribbean torpor

I think that rubbed off on whites and blacks.

And then with mestizaje we mulattoes perfected Caribbean antiparabolism

That in light of the facts is not so uncivilized nor so ugly


From my humble perspective

The ground that is fought over there with so much effort

It's a piece of desert

Drier than the driest of dried leathers

And uglier than the ugliest of camels


Of course I also saw the civil father

swearing at something in the sky

while he was holding his dead baby

And I didn't see them but I can imagine them playing with their new toys

to the military engineer and the expert advisor


But since this is taking too long, I'm going to have to leave it here

Wishing them reach some agreement there

May they solve all their problems with justice and peace

May they be very happy there and if they want we will help them

But from afar
