Poetry Reading: RACE, by Paula Maria Rodriguez

1m 22s
Performed by Val Cole
POEM:
I was, maybe, three
years old, when my mother
said: “I challenge you to run
from here to the corner.”
And, delighted, I ran.
On my spring stick new legs,
I ran,
giving it my all,
I ran,
alongside the old stone building,
While holding my mother’s hand
and I felt the wind
in my hair,
and that delicious,
palatable,
infinite
sense of freedom
for the first time.
It was 1974
and the country was on the verge
of shaking the shackles
of a fifty year-old dictatorship.
shots resonated against the darkness
and the first morning lights
unveiled the corpses of
insurrectors,
lying,
their eyes wide
with surprise,
by the roadside.
But that day,
I ran.

Goes the gas smell and
the steam... -

POEM:
Dry, arid, desert landscape of Mojave
spartan-like, feisty under the relentless sun,
austere rock outcrops, shrubs,
wildflowers under the clear blue sky,
bloom vividly upon a thousand stars in the cover of the night.
A solid trunk of a tree, a poetry
unfurls its bra... -
