Hombre soy, por qué nací en la tierra? Dónde está mi mortaja? Ésta es la muerte? The night of a thousand and one nights the shadow of a thousand shadows and a heartbeat, the water of a thousand waters falling, fire uncovering funnels, ashes dressed up like Medusa, the Earth's lamentation. I am a man. Why was I born to earth? Where is the shroud? Is this death?  less
