Photo: @momatiukeastcott/@thephotosociety | Patagonia's dead | If I look around carefully and away from the towering beauty of this place, I meet the dead of Patagonia. I see a dead guanaco (one of many) trapped in a barbed wire fence along the road, its strong body caught in a mid-leap not high enough to clear the obstacle people -- and that means us, too -- erected across its pampas trails and all over this once wild land.
And I notice bright skeletons, scattered like puzzles on gravel bars and wonder where are the bones of those who disappeared in Argentina when the junta used to roar, or those who perished in Chile when old man Pinochet killed and killed, and inflicted sorrows which may never end.

And I see roadside shrines erected for those who died after their cars rolled, or slid off the pavement and crashed -- does not matter how it happened because it already did -- still wet with tears of those who kept on living. I see their pain caught in plastic flowers, chipped vases, and weathered plaques swinging in the wind.
This is an empty and magnificent land where the living are few, and I seem to see the traces of the dead wherever I look. I do not want to see them, but they are there, unmoved and omnipresent. ©YvaMomatiuk
