First lines

And so, from night to night, that long hour, the entire Chilean seaboard engulfed in darkness,

I fled from door to door.

Other humble homes, other hands in every crease of the country awaited my footsteps.

You passed a thousand times by that door that said nothing to you, by that unpainted wall, by those windows with wilted flowers.
