ELEGY OF HOMELAND
of iron, not gold, was the aurora.
The forged a port and a desert, a few gentlemen
and open
elementary level yesterday and today.
Then came the war with the Goths. Always
value and always win.
Brazil and the tyrant. That story
rampant. The all out.
red figures anniversaries,
pomp of marble, arduous monuments
word bubbles, parliaments, and centenarians
sesquicentennial, ash
are just, the harangues
the vestiges of that ancient flame. Jorge Luis Borges
