Half a blanket under, half over; fever; cement; damp; sweaty hair; innoscriptions on the walls scratched with fingernails -
names, dates, small covenants; the same nightmare opening holes with the same torch: 'tonight', 'tonight', at dawn, 'tomorrow'.
Who will be left here to remember us when the key is heard in the lock and the long chain is dragged on the endless white where, on one side, the last cigarette we'd thrown down still smokes.

The spiral in the Acheepa tradition symbolizes the Wayuu’s life journey. Dots in the designs represent death, reflecting the Wayuu’s deep link between the natural and the mystical.
