Who could have thought
that a Museum could become
the prison of the marble?
And yet the Caryatid sunk
into the oblivion of indifference
incapable of supporting the weight
of its perfidious sequestration.
She felt abandoned
from the people of justice
as if an international amnesia
had them all stricken.
And yet the Righteous already prepared themselves
to lead the fight of deliverance
against the barbarity of the gaoler
that didn’t want to recognize his crime.
