on the lookout

by Roberto Lavidez

in the chiaroscuro

of the moral struggle

for existence

reflections

reflect themselves

recapturing

lost pasts

charging 

their underlying

meanings and structures

prudently hidden

in the reeds

unexplicably

wandering away

looking into the abyss

and making the leap

driven by

bloody circumstances

contemptuous

of the rest of humanity

on the lookout

for something

unconstrained

as the savage life is

overturning 

the surface

of the earth

where grains of truth

are embedded

in tales 

and persistent 

guerilla activities

opening up

the space of democracy

giving a passionate

impromptu harangue

on the blindness

of justice

and the coming

of something

unforeseeable
