Poem
Myriam Montoya
The rhizome scrapes a redoubt of light
from Flor de rechazoThe rhizome scrapes a redoubt of light
Flesh with a last trace of life
settles in the drawers of the Morgue
The roots pierced with malleable wire
Offer freely the magic of the bonsai
A bombarded gene reveals the secrets of humanity
the spasm of the Guinea pig the success of the experiment
Light filters the delineated orb
merchant routes of arms and narcotics
a kamikaze woman immolates herself
on the Day of Atonement.

The rhizome scrapes a redoubt of light
de Flor de rechazo
El rizoma araña un reducto de luz
La carne con un último rastro de vida
reposa en las gavetas de la Morgue
Las raíces perforadas con alambre dulce
regalan la magia del bonsái
Un gen bombardeado revela el misterio de la humanidad
el espasmo del cobaya el logro del experimento
La luz filtra el orbe delineando
rutas de mercaderías de armas y de narcóticos
Una mujer kamikaze se inmola
el Día del Perdón
El rizoma araña un reducto de luz
La carne con un último rastro de vida
reposa en las gavetas de la Morgue
Las raíces perforadas con alambre dulce
regalan la magia del bonsái
Un gen bombardeado revela el misterio de la humanidad
el espasmo del cobaya el logro del experimento
La luz filtra el orbe delineando
rutas de mercaderías de armas y de narcóticos
Una mujer kamikaze se inmola
el Día del Perdón
