"Capea" 1997. Oropesa, SpainI was born and raised under the stars of the Southern Cross. Wherever I go,they follow me. Under the sparkling Southern Cross, I live my fate. I have no god. If I had one, I would beseech him not to let me meet death, not yet. I still have a long way to go. There are moons at which I have not yet howled and suns which have not yet set me alight. I still have not swum in all the seas of the world, of which they say there are seven, nor in all the rivers of Paradise, of which they say there are four.
In Montevideo, a child

play forever"
