This has something of the weight of “In Flanders fields.” For me the bit about the people dying before the flowers was especially poignant – but overall this was a beautiful, powerful poem.

That stanza that begins “the flowers will remember” — amazing. September was already poisoned for me by Pinochet. You make this difficult point so deftly.

You delivered to me your central thoughts. Well done!
