Lavar con su vida el crimen
Fotograma del filme cubano “Martí el ojo del canario”
Este conmovedor pasaje de la vida de José Martí no es producto de su febril imaginación, sino un recuerdo de la infancia, cuando allá por los perdidos montes de Hanábana, en medio de las productivas llanuras azucareras del Matanzas pudo sentir, tal vez sin comprenderlo todo, la ignominia del régimen esclavista, en plena decadencia ya en los momentos que pudo sentirla cerca de sí, pero no menos cruel, no menos inhuman; así lo comprendió el niño Pepe y cuando muchos años después hace el recuento de sus vida en “versos sencillos”[1] dedica estas estrofas a esas imágenes que nunca olvidó:
El rayo surca, sangriento,
El lóbrego nubarrón:
Echa el barco, ciento a ciento,
Los negros por el portón.
El viento, fiero, quebraba
Los almácigos copudos;
Andaba la hilera, andaba,
De los esclavos desnudos.
El temporal sacudía
Los barracones henchidos:
Una madre con su cría
Pasaba, dando alaridos.
Rojo, como en el desierto,
Salió el sol al horizonte:
Y alumbró a un esclavo muerto,
Colgado a un seibo del monte.
Un niño lo vio: tembló
De pasión por los que gimen:
¡Y, al pie del muerto, juró
Lavar con su vida el crimen!
[1] El poemario “Versos Sencillos” lo publicó José Martí en Nueva York en 1891
