Description
A girl on the beach
looking for small shells
singing a song her mother taught her
tender waves rock the
clumsy water bird babies
swimming after their mothers
and across the warm blue sky
the white ships of clouds are sailing.
Like in a secret magic ritual
they walk hand in hand
deeper and deeper they reach
letting the warm water surround them
mother and child baptizing themselves
to ever more keep this moment in their hearts.
A girl in the heart of concrete
silent walls sky high so deaf
with black eyed windows so blind
her tiny feet stepping in a rush
towards the thousand yellow lights
she walks in to a big white house
sits by a bed reaching out her hand
to touch the grey hair.
She opens her hand
-Look mother, from the secret place
the girl whispers and starts a song
a song her mother taught her.
The weakened hands holding
the small shells.

Such subtlety of observation. A very mature and yet almost childlike warmth emanates from this one. Intimate perceptions of lives intertwined into one thing. Very moving. Very visual too.
