Galíndez - a poem about authoritarianism and a person who disappeared

article image placeholderUploaded by @BeaumouManatee
Why did I have to choose international politics? All I wanted was language, the thrill of alchemy and translation, the joy of code making and breaking first experience from the rotating double cipher wheel in my children's spy book. Of course, language had practical applications in my major, but I never imagined listening to grainy recordings of radicals discussing materials and plots, perhaps in a code within their own language. National security dependent on my comprehension of the Garbled file. No, give me less pressure
