The Paths

By Juan Gregorio Regino
Translated from Mazateco by Earl Shorris & Sylvia Sasson Shorris
Juan Gregorio Regino pens a poem in Mazateco.

Note: This poem was originally written in Mazateco.

All paths arrive
at the only road that exists.
In the darkness only mystery
is transparent.
No one answers,
silence too
is a way to scream,
and I go screaming.

Originally published in Nuni, año IV, número 9, México.
