We had a house, we built it ourselves.
The walls of stone, their colours
smelled light and dark, and the windows were
very large. We opened them and looked out.
The floors of the house had ceramic tiles, and sometimes
I heard neighbours and the street.
Everything in the house was special.
There was only my family and me.
That was my favourite house. We built it ourselves.
