Dialogue
with Samuel Lafferte in Australia. # 12-12
You're more than a shadow of me walking
Yours was the name I took
As a militant poet in Moscow.
Yes, I read verses in your name at Red Square
Beside the tomb of Lenin,
Drinking and talking we read Marx's
Das Kapital.
To the woman who was in the dark homeland.
From the nearby Soviet bar at the School of KOMSOMOL,
Where we read the verses of Roque Dalton and Sergei
Yesenin.
After the
return
We walked together into underground struggle
As twins childhood
As a fellow fighters
sharing the same prison and the same blood in the
torture.
Shared notebooks and pencil
the sweet and sour kiss of the lost ...
In the hours of rest necessary
Gradually the verses were born
And since then I wonder
Who these poems belong to
Samuel Lafferte or the other I am even today,
Juan Garrido-Salgado?

I am sharing a little of a historical memory. When I was young and poet, I was learning and love to read this two passionate poets Roque Dalton and Sergei Yesenin.
