I modified the cover page and the Makata section to add some typographic effect and visual abruptness on the background image. So far, the result is good.



in the promised land



the god of war assume his fitted place

between the stalwart soldiers

and muslim braves

he is neither Greek nor Roman god

but a dot, a space, a distance

that will punctuate the course

of our history



in the foughten fields are days

of thunder and sleepless nights

each morrow seems to be the last

to a comrade or a foe



meanwhile,

we anticipate the news

separating the grains from the heap

of sensualized journalism

and just this morning

while some Americans woo

our countrymen down south

an earthquake shook the land



the One has declared his presence

but still we do not understand the signs

not that they are too profound to construe

we only read them with our eyes

not with our hearts and minds
