Accésit Premio S.G.A.E. de Teatro-Finalista Premio Nacional Literatura Dramática ya se oye el surco del mar abriéndose para dejar paso a mi recto marido a mi fiel esposo a mi cónyuge y padre mío en mi orfandad Regresando para entrar en su casa y contemplar por sí mismo la infamia cebándose en su estirpe destruyendo sus bienes más queridos sus seres más amados Queda poco tiempo para que él se encuentre con su infiel mujer con su adúltera concubina con la traidora extranjera la asesina de su primogénito la que no dudó en sacrificar al que más deseaba ante el temor ante el miedo dejándose engañar sirviendo de arma para la muerte del que más amaba No quieran estos ojos ver un nuevo día una nueva luz si lo que van a ver es tu cuerpo inerte mis manos inútilmente peinan estos cabellos llenos de barro mi boca lame estas heridas en las que la sangre seca negra ya ha dejado de manar mi pecho se junta con este pecho que agota sus últimos estertores
