UNCERTAINTY
By Amparo Jaramillo-Restrepo

Listen,
there is no room for dreaming,
for my soul
is an empty space,
immersed in solitude,
and I'm trembling
like a fleece in the storm.
Listen,
there's no time for flying,
for I'm plagued with doubts,
and I've lost the cryptic path
to my destiny.
Listen,
there's no time to sing,
for I've lost the texture
of my voice and the sound
I get from my rusty flute
is an ominous whistle
coiled as a serpent
around my heart
Gone is the time to dream,
to fly or to sing.
