MARIO MEDINA

SILENT ENEMY

You who dwell

Otherwise

This world,

I give you my agony.

 
Tear off my arms,

Rip off my feet.

 

 
I leave for you my weariness,

I leave for you my hurt.

I don't understand what's happening to me 

my body isn't responding 

where did my strength go? 

where did my light go?

 

 
I see Death, sitting,

Infested with fuming pustules

Scream at her so she leaves!

Bury this curse!

O, Shaman, you who can

Interchange the sense of life,

I seek in you my cure,

My healing.
