#PoetryCorner I love this poem by Humberto Ak'qbal (QEPD), a Mayan poet from #Guatemala.

The translation more or less as follows:

Everything was like a dream and at times I was afraid; it was as if he had left the grave, or as if he had finally been able to get rid of the spell
from the tree ... My father had many things to tell, but the words drowned in his voice. He had not died nor had any tree swallowed him;
he had been seized by the disease of oblivion: he forgot his wife, his house, his children, his people ... He walked over mountains, ravines and roads, walked by day and
at night until he came to another town and there began another life. The years went by. Suddenly he dreamed a memory. As if they had taken a
cloud off his eyes, he remembered his family, his people and decided to return.
I had no trouble recognizing him because the changes in an older person are minor. He had aged but his features were unmistakable, besides
the heart is not wrong, and my younger brother had not been wrong, he had always expected it ... Our father lived and had returned. ❤️💔

The original language is more poetic IMHO but I still love his words. Reminds me of my abuelo.
