In the kingdom
where Parisian pendulums
tower over
alongside fine porcelain
valuable furniture and antique silverware
Inga’s shop
fantastic lounge
where the players are our dreams
paradise of the dream
place to get lost
in the prints on display
a gold frame on the wall
next to the bouquet of flowers
seems telling me stories of the past
while my image
reflected in the mirror
invents a self-portrait out of focus
the Parisian pendulums
undisturbed
beat out the rhythm of time
