Courageously escaping from undeserved ominous punishment
Fleeing from cruel doom and unfair ignominy
Attempting to request for a share of paradise
dances my piece of wood,
which opened a little hole on the cursed wall,
on mountains of forbidden and furious water that whip me
as if sacrifice so far were not enough
as if allied to my enemy
as if wanting to take revenge for being daring
and as others in its grave to bury
But I deny and try
even though the yellow sun
is not this time by my side
Even though I’m thirsty as if the water were dry
Even though in brave challenge
I question my faith and path
For the stubbornness of octopuses
with one eye but thousands arms
I chose sea and left my dear ones
looking for a saving land.
