Obsessed. My space is moving with the rhythm

of steps. not mine. Fingers. Playing with the

air. Of distance. Moments, slippery hiding

at the wrinkles of the skin. Sense of

broken glass of the city clock. Holding me

Hold me

Holding me in its reflections. Running in a circle

is a promise to never meet. Swallow the memory,

with all the words that disappeared in this

second. Rose petals are melting in my glass.

Passing the spirit from a hand to another

universe. This is crazy. Craziness on the tip of

my thumbs. Suddenly I am crawling flower

on the white walls of deserted city. It is warm

between. Air is heavy. Thunders. I am waiting

for the next train. Rain. One last, one more

glance, gaze, glimpse. Broken strings of

the hand watch. We are losing the time,

gliding on the backbones. Shivers.

All the time, waiting for the night to

hide in its wombs. Pulsating. Warm.

Too far away. Untouchable.

Let's meet the tips of our fingers.

Moment of existence. Close eyes. Open. Continue.

Breathe. Stop. Breathe.

What is this touch moving me towards?

The falling of the time. Minutes as crystal

pearls on the floor.

The clock is falling on the marble,

the glass is flying, the strings are

crashing. It is not dying, but death.

In this moment, existence.

Chez la floriste.

Tell me time in all the languages you

know. Over a cup of tea. With lemon...

Stop. Breathe. It is moving again.

Can I travel backwards? And still

getting older?

Dropping the clock. Flying to the

marble. Holding my breath. Moment of

death. And of existence.
