The Last Days





(Alejandro Kirchuk)





(Santiago Arcos)

In the last days, the last hour, the human hand gives itself away.

In the morning, light and colour return, objects- and life itself- take shape: a smile, spilled milk, your face turned away from me, the sleeping child, sharpened pencils, ironed clothes, mirrors, Van Gogh's Sunflowers...

The sun brings forth all these things but it is, after all, only a burning star and, like our days, a wisp of smoke.
