Chapter II

The tired clock struck

His good mother raised her eyes

(The muzzles of guns pushed him into the vehicle)

The tired clock struck

She got up and arranged his study

(A hand slapped him

God's hand led him into temptation)

The tired clock struck

His mother sat and mended his socks

(The interrogator's eyes pricked at him

Until his skin broke out in blood and answers)

The tired clock struck

The tired clock struck
