At sea, the water is black. Dawn breaks.
A fragment of the rising sun falls to the earth and a human is born:
“It’s a boy!.. it seems.”

The echo of dawn whispers:
“To live, you must first die,”
and the boy begins his journey.

He passes through forests, cities, deserts, seas—thirsty, inexperienced, completely new—asking:
“Excuse me, sir, where can I find death?”

People freeze, grow angry, remain indifferent. The journey continues, the question persists, the answer constantly hangs in the air, while sunset approaches as he gallops, holding a newborn, once again back toward the sun.
