Vi scrivo da un carcere in Grecia (I write you from a prison in Greece) (1974)

 * The teardrops which you will see flowing from our eyes you should never believe signs of despair. They are only promise promise for Fight.
 * Promise, written in Military Prisons of Bogiati February 1972.


 * A match as a pen Blood on the floor as ink The forgotten gauze cover as paper But what should I write? I might just manage my address. This ink is strange; it clots. I write you from a prison in Greece.
 * My Address, written in Military Prisons of Bogiati, 5 June 1971 – After beating.


 * I gave life to the walls a voice I gave them more friendly so that would become my company and the guards asked to know where they could find the paint. The walls of the cell kept the secret and the mercenaries searched everywhere but paint they could not find.  Because they did not think for one moment that they should search into my veins.
 * I Bogia (The Paint).
