The dead people of that day of slaughter come back in dreams. Life is beautiful to the point of renewing your breath with the stench of tear gas and seeing the purity of the sky of the capital. Even to the point of breathing a little less polluted air at curfew time.
This is a metaphor for the memories that were written between January 25 and February 11, 2010, for the future, not to forget.
