this is the shadow of a boat, upside-down, of course,
it is here illustrating the image of a dream i had last night,
some distant time, when my eldest brother and i used to bet who would stay longer on the sea floor, lying flat on our backs looking up to the boats over our heads...
and this is the vision i remember.
it was always a light and colorful vision, but in my dream it came out colorless, just a shadow plus the sound of water movements in my ears,
dull sounds.

i lost my dear brother last month, unexpectedly, days before his first grandson's birth.
i cannot stop thinking of it
