...Ante el humano barrido o hundido
el pueblo volvió,
El pueblo siempre estuvo allí.

Faced with the human sweep or sunk
the people returned,
The people always were there...

11 - S, New Orleans:
United we stand.

Por © Claudio Serra Brun.

Cuando el tsunami pavoroso,
la ola ubicua de la muerte,
Ante el humano barrido o hundido
el pueblo volvió,
El pueblo siempre estuvo allí.

Cuando el sueño fue muerte
en el terremoto instantáneo
y el humano se hundió en el vacío,
Luego el pueblo vino despierto
y alargó los brazos como pudo,
Siempre estuvo allí.

Cuando el fuego salió de las casas
como un demonio desatado
y en amenaza horrible
levantó al cielo
las cenizas humanas,
El pueblo sofocado
corre por agua al río
va de un lado a otro,
Siempre estuvo allí.

Y cuando enloqueció el aire
y se irguió en tromba
y en su carrera a la nada
trituró las casas,
Allí el humano estaba
con los brazos encogidos
sobre el corazón,
Y de pronto pareció que quedaba
sólo él de pie en el mundo,
lo más alto hasta el horizonte;

Pero hacia el centro
de las coordenadas del desamparo
el pueblo volvía,
surgía de abajo de las astillas
de lo que fueron sus casas
y acudía:
Porque el pueblo siempre estuvo allí.

11 - S, New Orleans:
United we stand.

By © Claudio Serra Brun.


When the tsunami awful,
the ubiquitous wave of death,
Faced with the human sweep or sunk
the people returned,
The people always were there.


When the dream was death
in the instant earthquake
and the human was sunk in the vacuum,
the people then came awake
and lengthened the arms as could,
They were always there.


When the fire left the houses
like unleashed demon
and in horrid threat
launched the human ashes
Towards the sky,
The breathless people
run for water to the river
go from here to there,
They were always there.


And when the air went crazy
and was erected in whirlwind
and in its race to the nothing
mashed the houses,
There the human was
with shrunk arms
on the heart,
And suddenly it seemed
that he was the only human
left in the world,
standing as the highest thing
until the horizon;


But towards the center
of the coordinates of abandonment
the people were returning,
stemming from down of the splinters
of what used to be their houses
and were attending:
Because people were always there.

Dedicated to all the victims

of the natural disasters and to all killed
by fanaticism and terrorism.

This is breathtaking, raw emotion, beautiful, Claudio. We feel helpless, yet energized to do what we can. Some of your imagery is truly stunning!

"And when the air went crazy
and was erected in whirlwind..."

Your words here are creative, stark visuals. Great piece! katy.

Something that belongs to their hometown never dies within their hearts. They will always return, because it's where they belong.

It's sad, but this one is well-written.
