What did you say they found another one?
I can't hear you this morning
another one floating
in the river?
talk louder so you didn't even dare
no one can identify him?
the police said not even his mother
not even the mother who bore him
not even she could
they said that?
the other women already tried I can't understand
what you're saying,
they turned him over and looked at his face, his
hands they looked at,
right,
they're all waiting together,
silent, in mourning,
on the riverbank,
they took him out of the water
he's naked
as the day he was born,
there's a police captain
and they won't leave until I get there?

He doesn't belong to anybody,
you say he doesn't belong to anybody?
tell them I'm getting dressed,
I'm leaving now
if the captain's the same one as
last time
he knows
what will happen
that body will have my name -
my son's my husband's
my father's
name
I'll sign the papers tell them
tell them I'm on my way,
wait for me
and don't let that captain touch him
don't let that captain take one step closer
to him.

Tell them not to worry:
I can bury my own dead.
Libera animas omnium fidelium
defunctorum de poenis inferni,
et de profundo lacu: Libera eas
de ore leonis ne absorbeat eas
tartarus, ne cadant in obscuram.
