a man in search

 a man was in search of himself
when he noticed the corn elds had been burnt
the sea had lost its balance
and the blaze of the sun had changed
with his striving hands he set out to gather stones
and whatever was left
to build a geometrical house and open it upwards
in the opposite direction to the landscape and the houses 
he had known so far

with the remaining
light he made its oor
