SACRIFICE

Beatriz Eugenia Diaz

On a tray, have four cups of uncooked pasta shells.

Head to your sacrificial altar.

On the altar of sacrifice put the tray aside.

Prepare for the sacrifice.

Of innumerable shells take twenty-two.

Take them in your hands.

The moment you have taken the shells in your hands you have already sacrificed them.

Feel like your life is in your hands.

Throw the shells.

Look at the image.

Contemplate the open and closed shells.

Feel the number of closed shells in your heart.

Feel the number of open shells in your body.

Take action.
