Synopsis

At midnight, the pendulum cuts through a crystal membrane

Wandering stars sprout in the cracks between railway sleepers

You carry the reflection of an entire day

And slip into a passage woven from mercury

The maze rebuilds itself behind the retina

A butterfly’s wingtips shake loose colored powder

At the corner of stairs that endlessly rise and fall

One door swings open, revealing countless doors

A silver coin of memory spins in the air

The pattern facing up is moonlight

The pattern facing down is a reef

The third face, never revealed,

is being written into the night watchman’s faded notebook

Until dawn bites through every thread

And grains of sand return to the prison of the hourglass

As you stand before the mirror, straightening your collar,

Unmelted snow suddenly falls from your neckline

The Interpretation of Dreams

Can you guess which parts of the story are real and which are dreams?

Anything could be reality (or a dream).
