“Who counts? Who tells, and what is the story in a colony? There is desolation and explosions of fear. The colony is in blood. This book is an open question. Not one, many questions. Who is in charge of our story? Who can survive the bombing? Each page reflects how we have lived in Puerto Rico for the last century.” — artist Gloribel Delgado Esquilín

overpowered legs
to experience

there is an enormous barrage
outside-inside
there is a war against the woman who feels

the silenced women
tits
vaginas
broken ribs
the controlled Voice
VOICE-VOICE
the silenced body

BE qUiET

Shut your mouth, girl

the body silenced by death, by bullets, by viruses, by holes
there are blue doors of contraband; there are doors without faces, the money of the colony
escaping

“what do I shut up”.
Bodies
silences
what do I keep quiet?
who keeps quiet?

colonialism
colonizers

Who is Who?
crypto money
smuggling borders

To listen?
Do you want to hear the
missiles? Can you hear?

the island
is being bombed
invisible bombs
someone’s Voice – voices

the Voice
what comes out?

Where did the head go?

Who is in charge?

what comes out?
How can one be the Voice that survives the bombing?

I am
Where am I?
I am standing here.

HERE

Who is there?
Who is listening?

to stop this

that reveals
what they want

that survives
the silence

Be the Voice
