Embroidery text: "Mamá, If I were to disappear, where do I go?" |
Prose Poem by Marcela Ibarra
Translated by Jane Brundage
I don't know, son.
I only know that if you were to disappear, I would search for you across the earth and under it.
I would knock on every door of every house.
I would ask each and every one of the people I met on my way.
I would demand, each and every day, at each agency obligated to search for you that it do so until you are found.
And I would want, son, that you not be frightened, because I am searching for you.
And if they don't listen to me, son;
I would strongly raise my voice, and I would shout your name through the streets.
I would break windows and knock down doors searching for you.
I would set fire to buildings so you might know how much I love you, and how much I want you to return.
I would paint murals with your name, and I wouldn't want anyone to forget you.
I would seek out other mothers and other fathers who are also searching for their children so together we might find you and them.
I would want, son, that you not be frightened, because many of us are searching for you.
If you do not disappear, son, as I want and desire,
I would shout the names of all those who have certainly disappeared.
I would write their names on the walls.
I would embrace all the fathers and mothers, sisters and brothers near and far, who search for their disappeared.
I would walk arm-in-arm with them through the streets.
And I would not permit their names to be forgotten.
And I would want, son, that none of them be frightened, because we are searching for them all.
Poema en prosa de Marcela Ibarra
No lo sé, hijo.
Solo sé que si desaparecieras te buscaría entre la tierra y debajo de ella.
Tocaría en cada puerta de cada casa.
Preguntaría a todas y a cada una de las personas que encontrara en mi camino.
Exigiría, todos y cada uno de los días, a cada instancia obligada a buscarte que lo hiciera hasta encontrarte.
Y querría, hijo, que no tuvieras miedo, porque te estoy buscando.
Y si no me escucharan, hijo;
la voz se me haría fuerte y gritaría tu nombre por las calles.
Rompería vidrios y tiraría puertas para buscarte.
Incendiaría edificios para que todos supieran cuánto te quiero y cuánto quiero que regreses.
Pintaría muros con tu nombre y no querría que nadie te olvidara.
Buscaría a otros y a otras que también buscan a sus hijos para que juntos te encontráramos a ti y a ellos.
Y querría, hijo, que no tuvieras miedo, porque muchos te buscamos.
Si no desaparecieras, hijo, como así deseo y quiero.
Gritaría los nombres de todos aquellos que sí han desaparecido.
Escribiría sus nombres en los muros.
Abrazaría en la distancia y en la cercanía a todos aquellos padres y madres; hermanas y hermanos que buscan a sus desaparecidos.
Caminaría del brazo de ellos por las calles.
Y no permitiría que sus nombres fueran olvidados.
Y querría, hijo, que todos ellos no tuvieran miedo, porque todos los buscamos.
