“our mouths open & a song falls out thick
with a saxophone’s syrup & all our dead
in the ground make the land ours & all
our missing fathers make us everything’s child”

“The lessons were very different,
in West Point instruction was pure:
school never taught them
that those who kill could be killed:
the Yankees never learned
how we love our poor and dear land
how we'd defend the flags
we'd sewn with so much pain and love.
What they couldn't learn in Philadelphia,
was taught in blood in Nicaragua" (Translated in Barbara Harlow's book, pp.64-65, 1987)”
