Los Desaparecidos

Can someone tell me if they've seen my husband
the lady asked, his name is Ernesto, he's 40 years old
works as a security guard at a car dealership
he was wearing a dark shirt and light pants
he left the night before last and hasn't returned
and I don't know what to think because this has never happened to me before

I've been looking for my sister for three days
her name is Altagracia, just like grandma
she left work for school
wearing jeans and a white shirt
it wasn't her boyfriend, the guy is at home
they don't know about her at the police station or the hospital

Can someone tell me if they've seen my son
he's a pre-med student
his name is Agustin and he's a good kid
sometimes stubborn when he gives his opinion
he's been detained, I don't know by who
light pants, striped shirt, he passed by the day before yesterday

My mother's name is Clara Quiñones
she's a saint, doesn't mess with anyone
they took her as a witness
for a matter that's only about me
I went to turn myself in this afternoon
and now I don't know who took her

last night I heard several explosions
shotgun and revolver shots
cars speeding, brakes screeching, screams
echoes of boots in the street
knocks on doors, complaints, about gods and broken dishes
they were watching the soap opera
that's why no one looked outside

Where do the disappeared go?
look in the water and in the bushes
and why do they disappear?
because we're not all the same
and when does the disappeared return?
every time thought calls him
how do you talk to the disappeared?
with emotions squeezing inside
