Maia wrote, February of 2024 - From Spain, "Stone Borani" (J. According to Saramago) from the shooting he went to Amsterdam and then went to Texas.

Some seem to make so fast
To take you out, when we need it so
And with the travel costs so high
I’m trapped inside this box of mine
Waiting…

There is something deep inside that wants to laugh and cry
Something that would like to tell it's story
There is something deep inside that wants to dance and wants to fly
Maybe you would guess it's called the…
