Diamonds-
In the dome, a light structure of intersecting transparent tubes holds the diamonds.
After the body is cremated, the ashes are transformed into diamonds that can hold all the memories of the deceased person in hologram format, videos or photography.
Real diamonds that claim to be made of the same matter that ancestors are made of and that have in them all the memories of the universe.
The atmosphere resembles a starry night sky around a campfire. Here, in the depths of the black emptiness emerge diamonds that reflect light.
Like the stars.
Like the cosmos on a pure night that keep the secrets that only death holds.
In fact, we all aim to live in remembrance
of those who stay.
Eternal, like the stars.
This is where the poet lives.
This is his nest.
Between fields and hills
These dyed memories.
This is the power of an idea.
Made of memories.
