| INURRIA - I | THE ANT - I |

Autobidean, Bilbo-Donostia noranzkoan eskuinetara, ospitalea, hamar solairuko eraikina, saihetsean anagrama urdina duena. Hortxe itxaron diot heriotzari. Hosto bat jausi da. Inurriak ez du paisaia aldatua ulertzen, konpultsioz higitzen da giltzaz bizituriko jostailuak bezala. |
On the motorway, towards Bilbao-Donostia, on the right, the hospital, a building with ten floors with a blue logo on one side. There I looked at death. A leaf falls. The ant does not understand the changed landscape, it moves compulsively just like a mechanical toy. |
