Like the echo of a dream, she is invincible. She is the Taino’s gosth on the river Canimar, and the eternal shadow of the Yoruba over the horse that killed my uncle Luis in Oviedo. The Aztec butterfly is singing from the Mayan Theatre.

Cuba-Mexico-USA, as lovers killing each other on the streams of her blood. Iraida es hija de la profesía. Shango in the new Millennium. Como dijo el poeta, "America es una sola".

Peace,

Jorge Luis Rodriguez
