TODAY IS SUNDAY

Today is sunday.
Today for the first time,
they took me out into the sun
and for the first time in my life
I looked at the sky
amazed thet it was so far
and so blue
and so wide
I stood without moving
and then respectfully sat on the black earth,
pressed my back aganist the wall.
Now, not even a thought of dying,
not a thought of freedom, of my wife,
The eart, the sun and me...

I am happy.
