Understanding

The following are some writings composed by words that popped into my mind.
The poem happened some days ago while I tried to sleep. The dream was a dream! It happened when I could sleep. But that was not the same night. Actually, it was during one of my sleeps in the library! I was on the 7th floor, next to one of those windows that show the beautiful view from the front of the building. I was trying to write one of my papers and... couldn't. Instead, after a nap on the table - on the computer - I realized I had those words in my mind; they where not about history, literature or women's issues. The words meant what I have dreamt about.
Then you'll find the ones that visited me while I tried to write about the Chilean dictatorship. Together with them, words that didn't come composed by letters; rather, they came in images that are deep carved in my mind and my heart - luckily I have some pictures to share.
I give you now the words that no longer belong to me.
