the first useless Sunday
dawning on the corpses.
1:20:07
I saw a dark crowd in the courtyard
lashing a group of young women.
1:20:15
And animal of a man shouted,
1:20:18
'You must dance,
dance when the drum beats.
1:20:22
With fury, the whips cracked
on the flesh of the women.
1:20:25
Hand in hand, the brides
began their circle dance.
1:20:29
Dance, they raved.
1:20:33
Dance till you die.'
1:20:37
'...dance with bare breasts, without shame...'
1:20:43
[cracking whips and shouting]
1:21:04
Then,
1:21:13
someone brought a jug of kerosene.
1:21:18
'The brides were anointed.
1:21:20
'Dance,' they thundered.
1:21:23
There is a fragrance sweeter
than any perfume.
1:21:27
With a torch,
they set the brides on fire.
1:21:30
And the charred bodies
1:21:31
rolled to their deaths.
1:21:36
The German woman
looked at me and said:
1:21:40
'How shall I dig out
these eyes of mine?'
1:21:45
Tell me. How?'
1:21:55
