Tonight, dreams are blowing in the wind. The waves, before they are born in the dream, like foam on the shore, shatter in memory. Children draw skies with their nails on the sand. A sun without contour. The mother holds in her bosom the shadows of the homeland. Vultures, hawks, eagles fly. Sorrows sink inward, deep into the chest. Silently, time becomes place. The words, the houses, the glances, the people were lost in the body of tomorrow.

In the air, a word floats: I was.

No one hears it. Only the wind, the one that touches the unspeakable and leaves behind a body without season. Light insists on engraving itself upon nothingness.
