"You catch water with a pin,.

             the water turns to slush.

             You point at the tree with your hand, .

             the tree burns" (56).

             Sooner or later our tribe always betrays us or we run away from it, sometimes it is because we are asked to do some things that our moral standards won"t agree with, that is why poets like Salamun have no alternative but to become traitors, a Frankenstein doomed to leave, condemned to revealing truths that unsettle as much as they inspire. This truth that eats people alive that makes people wait in line in front of a shop to get sometimes a piece of bread or meat shows that communism is not always the best answer. In front of this poverty, the author chooses not to remain silent. The main denunciation of Salamun is in the poem "I See", in which the author talks about a "hunter" that disguises himself into sunlight. This hunter who can only been seen has Staline disguised into a sunlight that shines over the years of lies. The personification of objects to talk about problems of society throughout a poem can only be a sign of critique. The use of the two words "I see" again and again is an anaphoric way to make sure that the repetition is well understood by the readers. The author goes around his town and sees and feels the sadness around him, the churches that are destroyed, the flowers full of tears that are usually a sign of romance and love. When Salamun says, "I see corn, how the army goes after the scent of cantaloupe, the night smells in Ca" Foscari." he is saying that now the army is gone and the soil can now find the energy needed to grow fruits and vegetables again. .

             In some poems of Salamun, he is more audacious and does not just use objects to describe people. In some of his poems you see him going forward and putting himself on the line as he begins his poem "Tree of Life", "I was born in a wheat field snapping my fingers" (175).
