How my story with Anna started and how it ended
I couldn’t tell; girl of exquisite beauty and an anarchist.
The judges drew abstract trees on the white paper; but
when she started her apology it was as if wind blew over
the trees and suddenly bent them, the judges got scared and
when the decision was announced “death”, Anna smiled
and unbuttoned her blouse a little, as if returning, finally,
to her private life.
