Carolyn Forché

What you heard is true. I am in his house. His wife has a cup of coffee and sugar. His daughter pinned her nail and his son went out to spend that night. There are daily newspapers, pet dogs, handguns on mats around him. The moon was naked with a black rope at home. On the TV is the police program. This is English. The broken bottle is embedded in the wall around the house, lifting the knees from the person's feet, and cutting the hands into strings. There is a grill like a hotel above the window. I ate dinner, lamb chops, delicious wine, and a golden bell called a maid on the table. The maid brought green mango, salt, and a kind of bread. Someone asked me how much I like this country. There is a short commercial advertisement in Spanish. His wife robbed him of everything. Someone told about the difficulty of governance. Parrot says hello on the terrace. The colonel silently said to keep himself away from the table. My friend told me with his eyes: nothing to say. The colonel brought back the bag to take home the groceries. He sprinkled many people's ears on the table. They are like dry peaches. There is no other way to say that. He took one of them, shook it on our face and threw it into the glass. It lived there. He said, I'm tired of cheating. Regarding someone's rights let's tell your people that they can go and do what they can do. He swept his ears to the floor with his hands and threw the last glass of wine into the air. What is your poetry? He said. Several ears on the floor heard his voice. Several ears of the floor were pushed to the ground

Can atrocities be the theme of poetry? Carolyn Forché 's prose "The Colonel" was published in "The Country Between Us" (1981). The most famous was the civil war in El Salvador. When Forsche visited this country to cooperate with Amnesty International under the Guggenheim Scholarship, the conflict has just begun. "Colonel" represents the poet's dinner at the army's house. After eating - "Lamb chops, delicious wines" - officials left the room and brought back bags of grocery packed with human ears, and he sprinkled it on the table. He told the poet that human rights workers could intercourse their eggs and then mention his cup in an ironic salute: "What is your poetry, no?"
