Poema por Shirley Campbell-Barr

Poem by Shirley Campbell-Barr

Costa Rica, 2021

I did not intend for these stories to become poetry I didn"t wish for the pain to turn into mere words without the bodies or the souls

I never intended to banalize screams or stories

nor bodies, nor blows as I try to write these words.

I swear my intention was never

to trivialize the blood or the stares or the broken bodies of broken women shattered.

As someone who rejects

someone who discards or as the someone who makes a manifesto or gives testimony of stories of heroism and survival.

I choose to assure you

here and forever that my wholly present woman body burns when trying without a possible truth to feel the fear and the pain and the helplessness and the loneliness and the pain once more and the absence and the desolation and the betrayal of all and again the blows and the courage and endurance and perseverance of broken women brave and whole.

My wholly present woman body

trembles and staggers when trying, when just pretending, to feel life without living no longer able to feel survival through eternal nights of days without days of hours without time of endless seconds.I said and I repeat loudly that I never intended to make of the ravaged bodies and of the cries of desecrated women thrown to death ...a poem.

I never intended to

make of the pain a nonsensical song to make of the lives raised from the dead a simple set of words that would end up saying nothing at all.

I swear

I just intended

to raise my voice and to shout with the voice of many and to declare my inalienable will to be a small part of the cry that claims that demands and that implores.

That implores

that demands that requests that screams that demands and that curses.

I just intended

to be one of the multitude of voices that choose not to remain silent that decided to denounce and to curse a perverse system that prefers to remain quiet to be an accomplice that chooses not to exercise its full humanity.

I just wanted to give voice

to those who have had theirs almost drowned from so much pain from so much death from so much damn silence.Silence full of convenient truths of appropriate lies full of truths so false that wish not to be revealed.

I just intended to scream the pain

and the life and death

I just wanted to be the whole

woman that decides to roar to blaspheme to curse to expose and to denounce refuses to shut up.

I just intended

with a simple poem to make us be heard. Yo no quería que estas historias se convirtieran en poesía

No quería que este dolor se transformara solo

en palabras sin los cuerpos ni las almas nunca tuve la intención de banalizar gritos ni historias ni cuerpos, ni golpes al intentar escribir estas palabras.

Juro que mi voluntad nunca fue

trivializar la sangre o las miradas o los cuerpos rotos de mujeres rotas despedazadas como quien desecha como quien descarta historias de heroísmo y sobrevivencia.

Quiero asegurarles aquí

y para siempre que mi cuerpo de mujer presente arde al intentar sin verdad posible sentir el miedo y el dolor y la impotencia y la soledad y el dolor una vez más y la ausencia y la desolación y la traición de todos y otra vez los golpes y la valentía y la resistencia y la perseverancia de mujeres rotas y valientas y enteras.

Mi cuerpo de mujer presente

tiembla y se tambalea al intentar,quotesdbs_dbs49.pdfusesText_49
