The Sinking of a Country
Between the trash you swam
Naked
Following the flow takes you somewhere
Behind you see cars floating
Following you are like you
You stared at the mansions ahead of you
Arise drowned by the brunt of the flood
You're wailing
You pray to God
The first prayer in your misery
And maybe the last one in your breath
A flooded tree greets you
You hurriedly straddled it
Thinking: Noah's boat saves you
Hug him tightly, like hugging your wife
On the first night
You and your boat along the drowned terrain
Your boat continues to sway with the flow
Tampa destination
Now your boat goes with the accompaniment
Floating corpses
You see those blue faces
Hope you know him
You're jerked!
Among the corpses you see your son's face
You're rowing your boat
Closer to his body
Now you have two friends:
Tree boat and your child's body
You climb another prayer
In your nakedness straddle the tree
And hold your son
Your prayer still floats among the corpses
Your prayer is still submerged under the flood
Your boat goes slowly
Lost by the corpses
They are like racing with you
Sometimes one, two
In fact, until you are confused to count them
You shrieked
There's your mother's body there
You screamed
There is the body of your wife
You shouted
There you see your brother's corpse
Your friend, and the people of your land whom you know when you become a corpse
Passing by wherever your eyes look
Your eyes are sore
Your voice is hoarse
Your body is shivering
Tears, sweat, and the flood
You can not differentiate anymore
All have come together in your despair
You let go of your son
Then you break a stick
On your boat
You shout a prayer
That said,
Never read the musa when splitting the red sea
Twigs you stomp many times
To the water
Then forming small waves
Moving away from you slowly
A loud voice shouted,
"You're not Moses
You're just a servant being tested. "
