- I am a soul
- whose poems are written
- in drops of blood
- sculpted from undulating
- branches
- solid and stone
- malleable as metal
- my bones are carved
- and drawn
- from acid rains of depression
- yet i rise with undaunted spirit
- to capture news and nuances
- of hope in my land
Poems
Pitika was part of the "21st Medellin Poetry Festival" where more than one hundred poets from all over the world gathered for a week in July 2011. These poems are the ones he selected to read during the Festival and were translated into Spanish.
