Aniversario
Fue en enero el terremoto…
Pasó un año
Y que pasó?
Pasó el tiempo…
Y que cambio?
Cambio el cielo…
Sigue herido el pueblo
Sigue de luto
Michèle Voltaire Marcelin ~ 12 de Enero de 2011
Listen to a segment with Michèle on CNN Español:
*Traduccíones en francès y español del poema “Rift” que illustra la fotografía:
La Faille |
La Falla |
| Il y avait une faille au cœur de la terre
Il y avait une faille au cœur de la beauté Et la faille de la terre et celle de nos cœurs se joignirent Et nous perdîmes notre peuple et notre terre |
Había una falla al corazón de la tierra
Había una falla debajo la belleza Y la falla de la tierra y la de nuestro corazón se encontraron Y perdimos nuestro pueblo y nuestra tierra |
