To Saint Mary: behind the whiteness of her skin, she is red from head to toe. Red, the colour of embers rising from a fire, the colour of a sunset during summer heat, the colour of blood that flows from the fur of the animals of the hunt. She strains, pushed forward by a burden too heavy for her shoulders. In a language not her own, she tries to describe the world she lived in, untangle the low notes of those who have been drawn upward, and she will grow thinner with each chord of a scratchy guitar. She is breathing harder, she says mamu, and the audience understands she is talking about them and others like them, their little group of black and white heads. Alone on stage, she sings the language of a forgotten people, like a call for help, out of modesty. Her voice is clear, her soul beautiful, so as not to forget.
