The Day of Here We Are


Will Manco Capac ever return with his golden plow?
And will the Indian speak again?
Will it be possible
to rebuild with these sherds
the luminous vessel?
To work again
upon a long wall
the monoliths
that not even a knife fits in the joints?
Restore broken roads
of South America
towards the Four Horizons
with its old post?
And the universe of the Indian will be an Ayllu again?

Ernesto Cardenal, "Economy of Tahuantinsuyo"
