WHEN I HEAR THAT TRUMPET SOUND

An ode to those who have the Americas under their feet. The memory of a continent through the voice of those who resist.

The trumpet will sound, after all, but it will be through the hands and lungs of the men and women blowing the mouthpiece. The dead, which we now count, will not rise from the alcoves, but will rise again as memory, and this will not be the sinking of humans, but the melancholic, sad and late end of the reign of god.

‘When I Hear That Trumpet Sound’ is the result of an enormous capacity to love, to be dazzled, and to listen. It takes a lot of courage and determination to dive into the chemical waste of the divine experiment. It is sometimes toxic, poisonous, invades the body through the pores, takes the blood, goes to the brain, muddies any capacity for peace. Love, above all that of these people, but also the reciprocal love for them, is what enables this sublime transformation of absolute chaos into genuine humanity.
