To Mercedes Sosa, Voice of the voiceless
She is gone
now.
The woman
with the potent
voice
like the Falls of Iguazú
energetic
and booming
as angry thundering
over
the endless,
desolate,
majestic Pampa
of gauchos and lore,
lore herself
forever:
Mercedes
of the voiceless
the one
inextinguishable
Voice.
