INTO THE CLOUDFOREST
Early this week a message came that more papers had
been signed and that now I could enter the reserve. I’d
received assurances like that before so I paid no
attention. But then the invaders began dismantling
their cabins, so maybe it was true. On Christmas Day,
unwilling to take a chance that I’d be barred from
entry again, before it was fully light I entered the
reserve, which for so many years has been forcibly
occupied by militant members of the campesino
organization CIOAC.
