China, China
China walks down the steps towards Martim Moniz, in Lisbon. As she passes, children shout, » China ! China ! » China will fly. Fly away by dawn. All she wants is to be happy. But she drinks her own poison. She drinks it to the last drop. Sometimes the air seems to be heavy with evil and purgatory is but a child’s playground.
