00:01It's the month of June. The year started with a tooth pain and an eye infection.

00:13I start reading one book and leave it midway and do not go back to it for months.

00:20I pick up another, this time a poetry book.

00:23I read one poem and another and then another and put it away somewhere.

00:32Sometimes a character from one book meets another from a different book.

00:41They cuss about me at my impatience and my inability to complete anything.

00:48I never understood my dreams.

00:59Sometimes I'm rowing a boat on a pavement and sometimes I'm escaping a slaughterhouse.

01:05And sometimes I'm in a tavern which is filled with reading desks and when I try to procure a book, my hand gets smeared with mud.

01:16When I was twenty something, I once went out to sail with two friends.

01:27The boat sailed strongly against the crashing waves until midnight.

01:33At midnight it capsized and I was pushed away to the shore.

01:40They went further and further away into the depths of the sea.

01:48I, estranged, waited on the shore for several days for their return.

01:54On the tenth day, I gave up.

01:59Their letters, their belongings, their souls, which clung onto me once, lay bare on the floor, untended.

02:09Sometimes they whisper into my ears when I'm asleep.

02:14But their whispers no longer haunt me.

02:21Outside my window, a bird mockingly looks at me.

02:28It sometimes picks a bread of dread and throws it my way.

02:40I can sometimes hear my house breathe through my mouldy walls.

02:48I try to look at the sky and at the trees.

02:52And it looks back at me with contempt.

02:57I shy and I walk away.

03:01The souls untended have started to wither away.

03:06And a pungent smell has wifted in from the decaying river behind my house.

03:11I look at them.

03:15I breathe.

03:17And then I look at the mockingbird.

03:20And again at the withering souls.

03:26The wind carries away the warmth.

03:30A warmth that I was not supposed to get acquainted with.

03:33A warmth not of a lover but of a bygone familial love.

03:45A warmth so simple and so convoluted.

03:51A warmth so enticing.

03:55A warmth so dreadful.

03:58The master walls breathed.

04:03And asked me.

04:05How do you mourn?

04:07The loss of a home.

04:10And where do you go?

04:13When you have nowhere to go?

04:15When you have nowhere to go?

04:20When you have nowhere to go.
