"Sometimes I look at the stars at night..."
"Sometimes I look at the stars at night
And see your face before me
It reflects so beautifully in the Elbe
Although I know, you are not here
[4ajbukoshka sits] at the harbor all alone in the cold
Even if [she is almost freezing]
As if half of [her] heart is missing
What [she] has left is a piece of paper." (1)
Wrapped in (reusable beeswax) paper: mandarins, clementines? Those orange crossed mini-oranges. Whatever it was...
A baby beaver scurries by, hoping to find something edible here. With cute button eyes, the fluffy-lovely creature scans the surroundings to disappear unnoticed. It must have taken quite a journey from its burrow for this, hmpf. 4ajbukoshka waits in vain for Mama Beaver to follow, secretly glad not to have been attacked by an animal.
Today was her day off, a special day, that one of 365: 4ajbukis's birthday.
To that, an Earl Grey! This one is cold, colder than the wind in Hamburg, but 4ajbukoshka is warmed from within: Jasmine joins her. Together they sit in silence, as they cannot find the right words. It’s not always words that are needed when the best friend and supporter hugs you tightly, so tightly that almost all the air escapes from 4ajbukoshka. But that’s what she needs right now to come back to herself. Jasmine has a subtle scent of vanilla, for 4ajbukoshka: like "home," wherever that place may be.
"For us, it means saying goodbye
and praying for a reunion
[...] Tears fall like drizzle" (1)
After the warm shower, it’s already late evening and dark, 4ajbukoshka wraps herself in her freshly washed blankets and looks out of her window:
"I don't know if you hear me when I say something
If you see me under the radar
Are you really here when I can't sleep?
I can't [not] feel it, even if [everyone says it]!" (1)
"The sky is the damn limit
Give me something that never ends!" (2)
Give me hope: A shooting star in the sky above my window. Sparkling water of the Elbe - and if it’s just the hint of my own blurred reflection.
