>> Well, first I want to say I'm so very
happy to be in Tucson for several reasons.

00:00:06.896 --> 00:00:10.846 align:middle
I always wanted to be here, but
now my grandson is living here.

00:00:10.976 --> 00:00:13.636 align:middle
So that was a very special scene.

00:00:13.836 --> 00:00:15.856 align:middle
My grandson and his wife.

00:00:16.276 --> 00:00:21.876 align:middle
Digo que estoy feliz de estar en Tucson y que
estoy - Siempre había querido venir aquí,

00:00:22.116 --> 00:00:26.196 align:middle
pero ahora es especial porque
mi nieto y su mujer viven aquí.

00:00:26.316 --> 00:00:28.116 align:middle
Así que para mí es algo muy especial.

00:00:28.926 --> 00:00:34.466 align:middle
Last night, I went -- Yesterday, I went
to -- They took me to the Grand Canyon.

00:00:35.276 --> 00:00:39.626 align:middle
And let me tell you, I have traveled
practically all over the world

00:00:40.016 --> 00:00:43.996 align:middle
and to me this is one of
the most marvelous sights.

00:00:44.056 --> 00:00:45.926 align:middle
That I'm really impressed.

00:00:46.606 --> 00:00:50.466 align:middle
And -- Fui al Grand Canyon y
me fascinó el Grand Canyon.

00:00:50.506 --> 00:00:53.166 align:middle
Para mí, es una de las siete
maravillas del mundo.

00:00:53.596 --> 00:00:55.506 align:middle
So I'm so grateful to be here.

00:00:55.956 --> 00:01:00.266 align:middle
I am going to read some of the short
poems in English and in Spanish.

00:01:00.536 --> 00:01:03.456 align:middle
And then some only in English, for the people

00:01:03.456 --> 00:01:07.046 align:middle
that don't know Spanish and
some only in Spanish.

00:01:07.236 --> 00:01:09.956 align:middle
Are there many people here who speak Spanish?

00:01:09.956 --> 00:01:10.456 align:middle
Let me see.

00:01:10.456 --> 00:01:11.546 align:middle
More or less.

00:01:12.016 --> 00:01:14.636 align:middle
Oh, yes. Well, that's wonderful.

00:01:14.636 --> 00:01:15.616 align:middle
That's wonderful.

00:01:15.996 --> 00:01:16.526 align:middle
Alright.

00:01:26.196 --> 00:01:31.196 align:middle
I'm going to start -- This is kind of short,
so I will read it in Spanish and in English.

00:01:32.586 --> 00:01:34.266 align:middle
First I think, what?

00:01:34.266 --> 00:01:36.126 align:middle
In Spanish, then in English.

00:01:36.226 --> 00:01:38.156 align:middle
Alright. Contabilizando.

00:01:38.816 --> 00:01:45.746 align:middle
En los 68 años que he vivido,
hay algunos eléctricos instantes.

00:01:46.656 --> 00:01:50.166 align:middle
La alegría de mis pies brincando charcos.

00:01:51.006 --> 00:01:53.126 align:middle
Seis horas en machupicchu.

00:01:54.026 --> 00:01:57.246 align:middle
Los 10 minutos necesarios
para perder la virginidad.

00:01:58.366 --> 00:02:02.706 align:middle
El zumbido del teléfono mientras
esperaba la muerte de mi madre.

00:02:03.776 --> 00:02:07.976 align:middle
La voz ronca anunciándome del
asesinato de Monseñor Romero.

00:02:09.146 --> 00:02:11.016 align:middle
Quince minutos en Delft.

00:02:12.176 --> 00:02:14.266 align:middle
El primer llanto de mi hija.

00:02:15.086 --> 00:02:19.306 align:middle
No sé cuántos años soñando
con la liberación de mi pueblo.

00:02:20.116 --> 00:02:22.706 align:middle
Algunas muertes inmortales.

00:02:23.716 --> 00:02:26.426 align:middle
Los ojos de aquel niño desnutrido.

00:02:27.316 --> 00:02:30.296 align:middle
Tus ojos cubriéndome de amor.

00:02:31.286 --> 00:02:35.566 align:middle
Una tarde, no me olvides y en esta hora húmeda,

00:02:35.566 --> 00:02:42.086 align:middle
las ganas de plasmarme en un
verso, en un grito, en una espuma.

00:02:43.926 --> 00:02:44.506 align:middle
Accounting.

00:02:44.506 --> 00:02:52.236 align:middle
In the 68 years I have lived, there
are a few electrical instants.

00:02:53.246 --> 00:02:56.306 align:middle
The happiness of my feet skipping bottles.

00:02:57.496 --> 00:02:59.366 align:middle
Six hours in Machu Picchu.

00:03:00.386 --> 00:03:03.926 align:middle
The 10 minutes necessary to lose my virginity.

00:03:05.036 --> 00:03:09.406 align:middle
The buzzing of the telephone while
awaiting the death of my mother.

00:03:10.306 --> 00:03:14.716 align:middle
The hoarse voice announcing
the death of Monseñor Romero.

00:03:15.676 --> 00:03:17.446 align:middle
Fifteen minutes in Delft.

00:03:19.016 --> 00:03:21.296 align:middle
The first wail of my daughter.

00:03:22.076 --> 00:03:27.986 align:middle
I don't know how many years
dreaming of my people's liberation.

00:03:29.036 --> 00:03:31.136 align:middle
Certain immortal deaths.

00:03:32.476 --> 00:03:35.466 align:middle
The eyes of that starving child.

00:03:36.246 --> 00:03:38.856 align:middle
Your eyes bathing me with love.

00:03:40.156 --> 00:03:49.166 align:middle
One forget-me-not afternoon and in this
sultry hour, the urge to mold myself

00:03:49.166 --> 00:03:57.616 align:middle
into a verse, a shout, a flake of foam.

00:03:58.076 --> 00:03:58.676 align:middle
Thank you.

00:03:59.516 --> 00:04:05.590 align:middle
