"Mother, what happenned to the flowers you used to put in the bathroom?"

"What? You liked them? The water always evaporates too quickly from the thin vase."

"Yes, I miss the flowers you put in there."

One cannot easily distinguish the noise at first. After a while, the continuous sound of wind traveling through a tunnel made of darkness and stars is joined by the sound of an endless alarm. The night train prevails in your mind though you are many rows of houses and streets apart. The dogs continue their endless gossip and the midnight sky continues to slowly travel down to your body. Each star seems to shine a little brighter tonight, giving company to each tear shed. You look at possibilities of life and of future dotted across this soft territory of the moon yet this owner is nowhere to be seen. The little bouncing joys were set free to play in the clear and safe blackness and all your hurt fades as you yourself fade into this infiinite of beauty. One can finally find sleep and dream under this blanket of slow-moving quietness.

The water runs freely through hands full of sud. To the left stand three wirely stems ending in bursts of lively pink lives all kept upright by a green well of water: These little things.
