Hope by Ariel Dorfman

My son has been

 missing

since May 8

of last year.

     They took him

      Just for a few hours

      The said

      just for some routine

      questioning.

After the car left,

the car with no license plate,

we couldn't

     find out

anything else

about him.

But now things have changed.

We heard from a companero

who just got out

that five months later

they were torturing him

in Villa Grimaldi,

at the end o September

they were questioning him

in the red house

that belonged to the Grimaldis.

     They say they recognized

     his voice his screams

     they say.

Somebody tell me frankly

what times are these

what kind of world

what country?

What I'm asking is

How can t be

That a father's

Joy

a mother's

joy

is knowing

that they

that they are still

torturing

their son?

Which means

that he was alive

five months later

and our greatest

hope

will be to find out

next year

that they're still torturing him

eight months later

and he may    might    could

still be alive.
