Orpheus

Dedicated to the community of San Nicolas


Such anger, turmoil,

not a day of reflection;

streets that were quiet once

are shaken now.


They left you, Orpheus,

moved,

believing

in better times;

the orphan stayed behind,

abandoned, breathing in

the silence time brings.

So much promised

but only fertile soil

turned into ashes.

Orpheus, you almost

turned back.
