The (4) Illumination of (5) Darkness (11)

“Dum spiro, spero”…Cicero

I am (21) buried (52)

in the ruins (20) of (44) this (53)
Immense darkness (77)
but I am (21) not (55)
Dead. (67)
there (66) is (13) nothing (66) and (60)
there (66) is (13) No one. (34)
then (53) …. a voice. (60)
and (52) I see (24) a man. (53)
A White Man. (52)

The sun was low (33)

and (52) I rose (25).
there (66) was (37) silence (76)
in the (47) darkness. (77)
my body (25) became (31)
full only of chills (25)
and (60) that (25) is (28) when (29)
I saw it. (28)
the inextinguishable light. (74)
the faith that (75)
nobody (77) wanted. (77)

In the bush (47)

there remained (72) savages (47)
afraid (73) of (25) the (74) light. (12)
the man (60) made me quite uncomfortable (12)
I could see (13) the (74) joy (36)
upon (25) his (37) sunlit face (33)
I straightened (45) my eyes (45)
with intensity. (75)
in the triumphant darkness, (75)
I could escape. (77)
