Breaking a curse

How do I break a cycle? A cycle of the unknown, of the hidden, a cycle of stains. How do I break a curse that has been passed down, generation to generation? I exhume it, I consume it and I expel it. I rewrite it, translate it, again and again, and again until that translation of a translation has changed into so- mething new, a new unknown – the eternal mother tongue. This is how to remove a stain of the blue dress.
