"The bullies...

Grown up now and promoted to rule the land. they with their fathers and mothers , their aunt's and uncles, their brothers and sisters: a locust horde, a plague of black locusts infesting the country, munching without cease, devouring lives...

What absorbs them is power. Eating and talking, munching lives, belching. Slow, heavy-bellied talk. Sitting in a circle debating ponderously, issuing decrees like hammer blows: death, death, death...

We watch as birds watch snakes, fascinated by what is about to devour us. Fascination: the homage we pay to our death. Between the hours of eight and nine we assemble and they show themselves to us. A ritual manifestation, like the processions of hooded bishops during Franco's war. A thanatophany: showing us our death. Viva la muerte! Their cry, their treat. Death to the young. Death to life. Boars that devour their offspring..."
