Extract  (translation from French) As the bodies left                of the cobbler worker Sacco                 of the fish merchant Vanzetti As the bodies left                 of the student Ulyanov Alexander                 And of the electrician Nguyen Van Troï As the bodies left                 Mostly of young women and men                 Since and before Jesus the crucified Your bodies are gone                 Sisters Ulrike, Gudrun, Ingrid                 Brothers Andreas, Jan Carl. I salute you ! The heart The teeth The hope The fists The tight guts I salute you !                 From all the painful folds of my face I salute you !                 From all the wounds of the heart of my heart I salute you !                With the tenderest kisses of my bitterness                Those reserved                         To the immense human family                         Who suffers and who struggles.

	As a train Of course, everything get over, of course. as a train. But if I succeed, even for a moment, the moment of a life, to take this train and enjoy the trip, then everything that get over will not get over in vain.

	To the Life ! When I'll die, make a party for what I lived well and do not shake your head for what I made wrong. About my future after my death, I am not decided. With my body, do what you want. If you bury me, put me at the cemetery in Oran, in the sun and closer to the sea. If you incinerate me, put perfume on my dust and spread them in the air. To you who love me, and also you who hate me, I do not say: Goodbye. I shout: To the Life ! Published in Produzione e Cultura, Arlem Editeur, Rome, 2000 july-dicember.
