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

The earthquake killed hundreds of people and destroyed thousands of homes.

The only route for delivering aid to the Chocó municipality is a mountainous, unstable road prone to landslides

Terremoto
(Mexico)
It is the land that moves
Who pushes it
The Earth
And all of us
We lean into fault lines
Hurrying along
The motion
That will, by nature,
Harm us all the same
(Earth doesn’t need our help)
Loss of life
Among the rescued and the rescuer
Cold irony
In an otherwise heated day
We grieve
For our neighbors
And I trust will pray
Those who do
And those who do and don’t
Will think and plan
More actively
To live our prayer in action
This is mission
This is living
In a neighborhood
Of us
Somos Oaxaca

Notte
Italian night
In Umbrio, in Amatrice
At six-point-two—and now
Rest is something
Else
It is what remains
After all has
Fallen and a
Victim people
Try to rise
Nature has
Split the nation
We must go there
To reach into
Rocks and
Open earth
To remove
Into airy day
Those who must
Exhale still
In order to
Remove or rebuild
Notte bianca o in bianco,
In sleepless night
