Literature Text

                                if the sandy tail wind has
                                dug holes in your back,
                                turn.
                                life is the ocean where
                                headwinds touch the heart the most deeply.


                                                     ---


it was when I first slept                                        after 1967 years of silence
with my feet on my pillow                                      it’s high time you realized that
instead on your kneecaps                   ˚                 a whisper and a click of a closing door
that my hangovers                                               can be louder than
disappeared.                                                       shouts.


                                                     ---


                                   it was the first funeral
                                   I cried at
                                   that taught me
                                   people are like tulips and hyacinths.
                                   despite our fragility
                                            we can still build lives on graves.
Some doors close creaking painfully, some close with ease, but there isn't a door that's eternally opened.

We're always moving together against the winds so the first stanza is dedicated to Iva, my present anchor.

--
The second stanza is dedicated to me, because I'm an egoist and because it's difficult to share a single bed.

--
1967 is a very special number to me, that's the year my mother was born, and the third stanza is specially dedicated to her.

--
The fourth stanza is dedicated to everyone who have recognized the face on an obituary as someone they shared their lunch with.
