polar nights

1 January 2009

"I have just landed. It is 3:30 in the afternoon. The sun is setting and the cold hits my eyes, glittering tears on my cheeks.
Polar nights were made to dream all day long (polar nights were made to live dreams).
Sailing boats emprisoned in icy rivers, ballerinas dancing on lakes (but the swan cries). Snow flakes and whirpools in the purple sky."
