“I went north, east and west
but the south was far and impenetrable to me
because the south is my home
So I became a metaphor of a swallow soaring above my debris”

Kohler's monkey, Kafka and the behaviorists, Étienne Rabaud's ants, Zeno's turtle, Attar's simurgh, etc. Ah! Martinoya's hesitant dove, the Buta.”
