| Paratext Text | Santa Clara, Cúba Bealtaine 2008 |
| Notes | The speaker of the poem is discussing the death/assassination of Che Guevara, who was assassinated by the American CIA in Bolivia. The 'spark of eternal hope' was important to Guevara, according to the speaker, who speaks directly to Che Guevera here, and mentions that more than his 'bones' returned to Cuba after his exhumation in 1997: likely a reference to his legacy and ideals, which are still held in high regard in Cuba. Santa Clara, mentioned in the paratext, is the location of the present-day Che Guevara mausoleum in Cuba. |
