Carlos notes:

…”Foreign press focused Pope Leo XIV’s speeches on the government’s economy. Media outlets in the United States and Europe interpreted his public interventions as indirect criticism of the austerity program, especially for cuts in sensitive areas such as disability, education, and social assistance.

BREATH

By Shuntaro Tanikawa

The wind is breathing
beside my earlobe
carrying the voices of children
making the lake ripple
the wind is breathing

The insects are breathing
clinging to the grass
showing their translucent wombs
reflecting the blue sky in their eyes

somewhere far away
spiraling without end
twinkling without a sound
the stars are breathing

A person is breathing
all alone
exhaling suffering
inhaling sorrow
a person is breathing
