In the places where I walked
Was laughter suppressed
Were puny bodies
And the beauty of children
Running naked.
Where I walked were burdens
Borne by fighters
In the yards were red flowers
Seeds and hope
Through black houses I walked
Made in the manner
Of caterpillars creeping
Before their transformation
It could be simply
A common place,
Of people and pumpkins
That's to say the same things...
But even when it was raining
The people were still laughing
At their sodden hopes.
In the places where I walked
I had an intuition
It was to touch the land
To mix myself up with its hand
And in it I found gold
Calcium, iron and bread.
And I felt a joy
As with passion and pick
I turned it over
I felt the smell of the young girl
Preparing to party
When the separation's over.
In the place where I walked
I lost myself in the vastness
Of so many words unspoken
And I found myself budding with life
Where lives are forced to be aborted.
