<p>i have been thinking of my life</p><p>as a man who is busy drowning</p><p>with no hope of martyrdom</p><p>or staying alive</p><p></p><p>all i can make of my country</p><p>is a sulphurous compound</p><p>a black room with two gigantic stars</p><p>as thoroughly silent as corpses</p><p></p><p>and during the many storms in my life</p><p>what happened?</p><p>what really happened?</p><p>during those nights</p><p>what did i really see?</p><p></p><p></p>
