On November 8, 1989, the Peruvian Armed Forces conducted a raid at La Universidad de San Marcos in Lima. Above, soldiers detain a student suspected of ties to the Maoist Sendero Luminoso, which at the time was waging a monumentally bloody war against the Peruvian state and civil society.

El Señor de los Milagros (The Lord of Miracles), an image of the crucifixion said to be painted by an enslaved Afro-Peruvian man during the seventeenth century, gained fame when it survived a devastating earthquake which struck Lima a century later, on October 28, 1746. A copy of the painting is paraded through the streets of Lima every year on the anniversary of the earthquake.

BAILA EN TUS MANOS !
Con lentitud
te acerqué a mis labios
Te descubrí
con la punta de mi lengua
lengua soñadoralengua roja
lengua ansiosa
Frenando mis ganas de morderte
despacio comencé a lamerte
Derritiendo tu carapazón
hasta sentir tu interior cremoso y dulce
que se derramó por mis labios
Después
tras eternos minutos
te devoré timidamente
Te cubrí con mi boca
hasta sentirte en mi garganta
Apaciguando mi sed
en un caloroso
dia de verano.-Claudia Salazar
