Abstract
German
German
Totomi, eine blinde alte Frau, beklagt in ihrer Hängematte liegend den Tod ihrer Tochter, die von einem Jaguar angefallen worden war. In ihrer Klage schildert sie Episoden aus dem Leben ihrer Tochter und stellt wiederholt die Frage: Warum hast Du Deine Mutter verlassen? ... mein liebes Kind. Ihre Tränen verstreicht sie auf ihren Wangen, damit sie dort eintrocknen und für jedermann sichtbar eine dunkle Kruste bilden.

While lying in her hammock, Totomi, a blind, old woman, laments over the death of her daughter, who was attacked by a jaguar. In her lamentation she describes episodes from the life of her daughter and repeatedly asks the question: Why did you leave your mother? ... my dear child. She smears her tears across her cheeks so that they dry there and form a dark crust that everyone can see.
