The tiger’s provocative fling, and the leader horseman’s floating flag of attack,
a sail unfurled in full collision with the wind, a wind that’s now blowing through
a lion’s main,
all these she experienced
When she placed a cape around her shoulders, a starless night unfurled mysteriously.
A hidden power made her feel adventurous, dressed in a costume, most appropriate
for battles and flights.
The luminous abysses endlessness, gave place to her mirror’s gentleness.
“Prepare” “Prepared” said the mirror, “Prepared” said the cape “Prapared” said the shoes.
She stood contemplating herself, as the rain was pouring.
Trying to hold on to this peaceful encounter with life,
concentrated to the rain song outside the window,
asking herself over and over again: “where are you going with so much purpose ? Loneliness
is just a mind game…” and the rain was pouring
The glass that suddenly fell off the table, it was like a realization of a feeling,
she had known for many years. That of an eye, watching and following her,
throughout her life.
She walked along down the street, towards the river
She walked slightly out of the rhythm, like someone not breathing deeply.
Long steps and inclined toward, as if racing. It was a street completely lined with trucks.
They lined up so close together, that she could no longer see the street,
or the houses across the way.
On her left, they made a wall of throbbing motors, and giant wheels, starting to turn.
On her right, more doors were opening, more trucks advanced slowly, as if to engulf her.
They loomed threateningly inhuman, so high, she could not see the drivers.
She felt a shrinking of her whole body, and as she shrunk from the noise,
the trucks seemed to enlarge becoming monstrous, the rolling of their wheels uncontrollable.
She felt as a child, in an enormous world of menacing giants.
