el terremoto en Colombia


Colombia

the earthquake
most
of Richter

and all the earth with
all the fallen
and
crushed lives it
took

and in the news to know
but
to be there
and I can’t imagine
parts
or
the totality
of everything was lost

trying to help
to heal
and finally to restore so that there’s life
in this
and later there

something to know among survivors
that
we have the way of life
and
we’ve known
this way of
death
