The sounds of the slosh water.

The still waters of the river.

Against the backdrop of the blue hills.

As if by coloured magic.

A slow boat drifts down its stream.

Beauty behind the front of a page.

Ezmitifa.

Ellmedoso

A snail slides away.

Ellmedoso.

It takes time at this pace.

Wonders how he navigates.

Yet manages to get to his place.

Bemredola

As dark as it could be.

Znrefado

They are with you wherever you go.

Znrefado.

In the forest mud or at the top.

Up the river where it flows.

With boot dare to go.

Akeititio

Oh! Late in the afternoon.

Akeititio.

In B flat (clarinet).

Oh! Late in the afternoon.

Drizzling light of perfume.

On the bare shoulders.

Butterflies are tight; release with whom?
