Past midnight, edge of days. Between neighbourhoods, watching windows go dark one by one. Very little attention left, for strange celestial phenomenons and other nocturnal encounters. Maybe half of this already a dream and an overlay of borrowed images. Sleep tight everyone wherever you are.
Weit jenseits der Dämmerung verklingt das Piano langsamer. Im Dickicht hinter dem Dorfplatz singt und feiert ungesehene Jugend. Kalter Atem des Waldes über den Feldern, ein Hund schlägt an, ein Moped lärmt durch Laternenkegel den Berg hinauf. Lauschen auf die Klänge der Leere, dort, wo die Häuser enden und die Siedlung ausfranst. Kommt sicher durch die Nacht.
Later. Calming conversations, inner voices included. Trying to grasp the sound of the district that spreads around this house. Some sense of direction established, as good as it can be a few hours later. A glass of wine, chocolate and not much more. Have a safe night wherever you are.
Deeper darkness again, after all. Day used to fade away, taking most focus with it, as well as a bunch of some familiar tensions, some replaced just with other ones to bear for the hours to come. Powering off screens. Shutting down machines. Keeping connections alive despite, including those to oneself. Letting thoughts wander, turning a page, wondering to take some notes already or just let it blank for now. (Have a peaceful night wherever you are.)
10pm again. A day laid out around re-occurring landmarks. Across the street, some cinematic crime scene unfolds on a way too huge display again. Even with all technological advancing, imagination doesn't, and it remains to be seen whether this is good or bad. Fantasies running in cycles. Utopia withdrawn by a lack of kind dreams. No retreat for the searching. Left for now: Calming down near the windows. Noticing clouds embracing the high-rises beyond the park. A few smaller and larger spots of light clustered around balconies and staircases. The sound of an electric car gaining speed between the houses, heading outbound. About to smell the rain. (Have a soothing night wherever you are.)
