By no means are the demonstrations over. This is part of the internal strategy of the Indian movement.

We are going back to our communities and gather into an assembly next Friday to decide our next move.

This deal will hurt us, the Indians, the most. We are peasants and this trade deal will flood Ecuador with cheap farm products from the United States.

More tough luck, man. For Sean and for us. It's a big blow.

It had to be extremely hush-hush, otherwise he wouldn't have made it out of Colombia.

BATALLA
Recojo
con presteza mis tripas,
las meto en su lugar,
coso mi panza
con mi habitual cuidado.
Me lavo las heridas,
desinfecto,
les mato las bicheras,
las pinto, las recorto, las enjuago.
Me vendo bien, me enyeso,
me entablillo,
me zurzo, me algodono,
me remiendo,
me emparcho.
Después,
ya más tranquilo,
mientras me siento
y con un cortaplumas
me hago un lindo par de muletas,
una oreja derecha,
una pata y un brazo,
con obediencia espero
mi próxima mujer.
Mixto, fácil, mansito
encantador,
al palo.
