Detonar / Detonate

detonar

de-ton-ar

¿de(s-en)-ton-ar?

he de
pre-gun-tar:

¿qué te deja
para los nietos
que sueñas?

ex-plo-tar

¿y si el futuro
no es un cohete—

mas un murmullo?

—Lorena (2016, 2025)

de-to-nate

perhaps
de-tune-ate?

I must
in-quire:

what will you leave
for the grandchildren
you dream of?

ex-plosion

and what if the future
is not a rocket—

but a whisper?

—Lorena (2016, 2025)
