Walking with Maria<br />

1999<br />

I am walking with Maria on a cold winter's day<br />

I'm dressed in black second hand clothes<br />

She's wearing a blue winter coat, C & A<br />

The river is a stillborn child. Seagulls in a purple sky<br />

We walk from the light into the darkness<br />

Hands like ice. Feet like ice<br />

1959<br />

I was walking with Maria on a warm summer's day<br />

She was wearing her dress with the yellow flowers<br />

Me in my blue jacket, C & A<br />

The river was a new born child. Mother's milk and butterflies<br />

We ran from the darkness into the light<br />

Hand in hand to the swimming pool<br />

I dreamed last night I was drowning but now I will swim<br />

I won't be afraid<br />

1999<br />

The river is a frozen sheet. An old man lying underneath<br />

We walk from the light into the darkness<br />

A million starts - one yellow moon. I will die - maybe soon<br />

I won't be afraid
