THIS HOME AND NOT FIT THE DEAD
Edna Pozzi

In this house no longer fit the dead.
No candles at midnight between
or fog that confuses the landscape but at noon


full sun on the plains and endless crying. Or the mountains

repeat the cry. Here we sit


and try to understand the passage that connects the past

the traces of this.


No blame lies without fear
avoiding
of wielding the truth. Innocent


beaten like the wolf in the fable. Innocent as the condor

Olegario Victor Andrade.
And I remembered also
said José Hernández. Barbarians

as a young woodmen
naked.

and do not know how to continue.

(many voices in chorus
keep telling us "I was traveling the pain" of mud on roads
no time)

In this house no longer fit the dead. In yuyales

unburied dead are Huaqui Cancharayada
those
those Vilcapugio, those Ayohuma. And

patriotic parades marching ghosts.
The ghosts of warriors
they would win in seven days Asunción
and hiding their bodies are rotting

in tropical swamps.


Where are the dead of September 16, 1955

strafed by planes in Plaza de Mayo. Or those who riddled

fell on the bridge of Arroyo Saladillo. Or beheaded

dying
the refalosa dancing in his blood.

are not rumors.
In this house no longer fit the dead.
The gasps in the concentration camps

barracks,
thousands of voices muted by the earth. And death

water at night screaming sobs
in the South Atlantic coast. Or the tortured martyrs
y muertos
por ser hombres cuyo delito fue
escribir nombre de varón
en el corazón de sus almohadas.

Teas apagadas por el espantoso
susurro: "yo fui viajero del dolor"

qué herencia de la patria dolida
nos queda
si ni siquiera hay fuego para quemar tanta mentira.

Literary criticism Inés Santa Cruz said: "Gaps built a character named Alberto Lagunas, a sort of cronopio Rosario-nicoleña with mathematical insight, the heart of romantic poet embarked on English baroque mazes connects with the symbolism. A being hypersensitive to live for literature and aspires to a just world. " "Forgotten Songs" and "In this house no longer fit the dead" are listed among his poems.
