Something happened the other day.

For reasons I cannot explain, even to myself, I do not have the words and coherence to say anything at the moment. In this silence, all I could write was this haiku.

It says nothing and everything.

A Poem by Roqué Marcelo

Once a grain of salt
Fell into a gaping wound
A fire grew and burned
