The Lines of Justice Drawn

Once I saw, father was drawing a cave of the Altamira. 
Still, there is so much light in this darkness! 
He said. 
I saw a bison was emerging with the drawing-line  
And more to follow
In an unknown cave in northern Spain,
I could see the wonder of a constellation. 
You never went to the Altamira caves. 
But now you can see
He Pulled my hands and painted red And pressed on the wall of the cave. 
My hand-prints were 
Like countless primitive humans 
As if hematite started flowing within mine 
An indomitable wild smell around 
Wild animals roamed freely but in herds. 
In the forest and on the wet ground 
In reality, I was alone and victimized
If ever by landslides 
The cave path was closed 
Yet here everyone was allied 
Humans and wildlife, humans and others! 
Then suddenly I saw 
A divine triangular light had fallen on his eyes 
I thought that father was Jesus Himself 
The church bells started ringing like a dream.
