City noises unfold slowly crystals of sound On the borders of her mind the memory of the dream,
the azure blue cup she is holding in her hand
A dream of shadows moving against the backdrop of a white screen shadows dancing
furiously fluid forms a feeling of being immersed in the ocean surrounded by women
swimming slowly White faces No life Bodies made of marble In the morning a lingering
memory in her, around Now here the flowers on the kitchen table, a beautiful colour red

outside away into the sky Visions of sailing ships Atolls of silence Seagulls White lace
waves Dancing A feeling emerging
The smell of sea rests on her skin sleepily
