around another.

And all these bodies....

Pieces.

Rolling over one another,

shifting the weight of the mass

towards the pit.

All these corpses, tangled up,

still muddled together,

but slowly separating from the mass

with the shifting weight.

Shifting weight.

Each one gradually pulling out

of the suffocating human embrace.

A grimacing face, turned blue,

stuporous.

And beneath....

The sh*t.

Little children cradled

in women's legs.

Scrawny old men,

little girls with sunken eyes,

naked boys covered in bruises.

All these creatures....

Pieces,

who had names.

Pieces.

Mose.

Moshe.

My brother.

Robert.

My father.

Armand.

Miguel.

Amos.

Hannah.

Samuel.

Pieces.

My mother.

My love.

Pieces.

My sister.

Simone.

Magdalena.

Each of these bodies gradually

emerging from this vast naked sea

to fall one after the other,

in pairs, in bundles,

into the dark hole of the mine.

Darkness.

A sea of bodies, buried,

swallowed up.
