De este ensimismamiento vino a sa-
carme la presencia de mi madre, quien

hijo milo, Gc6mo es possible este. Til, muer

taba, me besaba...
Todo 10 comprendi. Habia muerto...
Pero, jera la muerte aquello? GEs morir

ria algo mas doloroso; que la desuni6n
del cUerpo y ell alma Sc reproduciria en-
un dolor muy agudo...
Me dirigi mi madre y acariciandola
