Today Gravity imposed herself again,

and morning was dragged into noon.

Grace has showered early; she smells

of stars and blossoming fruit-trees.

The beating of my heart disturbs her silence.

(She covers her ears with green leafs).

Golden light blinds Gravity's dark eyes:

"I feed through my ears," Grace shrugs.

"You are such a sensitive freak ", Gravity responds,

looking down on both of us.

"And you are such a hedonist", Grace cries,

very unlike herslef. "You are drunk again".

"You are just lowering yourself", laughs

fire-haired Gravity, lighting a cigar.

Outside, a tapestry of ice falls on the earth.
