a
woman of contradiction
so
hard to pigeon-hole her
right-wing
husband her own
social
consciousness gave
some
alleviation for the poor
the
vote for women
one
woman can't do it all
you
sing dance make rousing
speeches
full of emotion
get
the shirtless ones on side
along
with mothers and children
radio
and film stardom
a random earthquake
a random earthquake
give
you political capital
in
the museum funeral films
remind
me of Diana
at
Recoleta Cemetery
angels
are calling angels
struggling
out of stone caught
the
moment before flight
avenue
after avenue walk
the
central aisle turn left
and
right again is this political?
one
more turn to the left black
marble
in bright sunlight reflects
tourists'
cameras flowers
woven
through the metal door
at
the tomb of Evita Peron
people
still gather school
children
with their notebooks
teachers
with their lessons
'My biggest fear in life is to be forgotten.' Seems like she needn't have worried!
