There are dark times when one could have the impression that poetry does not take place, that poetry is not heard in front of the noise of the war, in front of the noise of the fast consumption that is the other face of the perversity making disappear the nature and thousands of beings that inhabit it.
The world where the thirst of each one is directed to have always more, which equals to devour the world under its steps in reality will not be able to survive without the poetry; without turning to oneself, to a silence that radiates the words.
