Primera visita a Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary

The heros behind the tin walls

The emotion seeing my son running into his mom’s arms

softly blended into the tears of a hard goodbye

overwhelmed by the beauty of Tacugama’s scenery

in the needed solitude at its privileged balcony

surrounded by an astounding, misty rainforest,

with hundreds of termites flying up to feed colorful birds.

The long tail of a paradise flycatcher colored in happiness,

or the flight of a palm-nut vulture and a hornbill.

The quiet mist behind a chimpanzee on top of a tree,

a testimony of a land run over by the war kid war,

surviving to this monstrous atrocity

and thriving under the kindness and protection

of a wildlife conservation hero and his team.

Testifying to have him let this treasure grow

among the poorest, for the poorest.

To have him disperse the seeds of this conservation scenery

along the crowded schools surely hiding some more heroes

have them grow behind the small windows in their tin walls.
