Guadalupe Salgado Partida

Fire (Here God Speaks Flames)


driving through the mountains, grey smoke emerges, and the road long 

and wide is so small for the indomitable strength of a strip engulfed in fire 

the wind’s gust ribbons that would often whip my window—quiet in reverence 

and the habitual rhythms of the semi-trucks come to a complete halt lingering 

in silence; everything quiets down, even the clamor of the people and from 

a distance, I can see how the flames destroy everything on the hillside 

and how fire, too is god of death and at the same time is god of life
