 | "Che 1997" ~Mario Benedetti |
| Lo han cubierto de afiches /de pancartas de voces en los muros de agravios retroactivos de honores a destiempo lo han transformado en pieza de consumo en memoria trivial en ayer sin retorno en rabia embalsamada han decidido usarlo como epilogo como última thule de la inocencia vana como anejo arquetipo de santo o satanás y quizás han resuelto que la única forma de desprenderse de él o dejarlo al garete es vaciarlo de lumbre convertirlo en un héroe de mármol o de yeso y por lo tanto inmóvil o mejor como mito o silueta o fantasma del pasado pisado sin embargo los ojos incerrables del che miran como si no pudieran no mirar asombrados tal vez de que el mando no entienda que treinta años después sigue bregando dulce y tenaz por la dicha del hombre | They have covered him with posters, with placards with voices on the wall with retroactive grievances with untimely honors they transformed him into part of consumption into trivial memory into yesterday without return into embalmed rage they have decided to use him as epilogue as ultima thule of innocent vanity as attached archetype of saint or satan and perhaps they have determined that the single way of wasting him or leaving him down the drain is emptying him of fire converting him into a hero of marble or of gypsum and just as motionless or best as myth or silhouette or phantom of past walked nevertheless the unclosed eyes of che look as if they cannot look amazed maybe that the power does not understand that 30 years after he continues struggling sweet and tough for the happiness of men |
