***[Hahetab juba]

Hahetab juba. Juba hahetab.
Puudele ilmuvad oksad. Okstele ilmuvad lehed.
Lehtedele ilmub värv. Värvile ilmub toon.
Toonile ilmub sügavus. Sügavusse mahedus.

Põrandale ilmub vaip. Vaibale ilmuvad sussid.
Lauale ilmub klaas. Klaasi ilmub vesi.
Seinale ilmub tapeet. Tapeedile ilmub muster.
Riiulile ilmuvad raamatud. Raamatuisse ilmuvad kirjad.

Padjale ilmuvad juuksed. Juustesse ilmub nägu.
Näole ilmuvad silmad. Silmadele ilmuvad laud.
Laugudele ilmuvad ripsmed. Ripsmetele ilmub värin.
Värinale ilmub ekraan. Ekraanile ilmuvad unenäod.

Unenäod liigutavad võrkkesta ekraanil.
Sa liigutad küünarnukki. Ma puudutan sind.
Sa pöörad teise külje. Teki alla ilmub soojus.
Soojusesse ilmub uni. Unes ilmub päike.

***[Dawn has already broken]

Dawn has already broken. Already, dawn has broken.
Branches appear on the trees. Leaves appear on the branches.
Color appears on the leaves. Tone appears in the color.
Depth appears in the tone. Softening into the depth.

A rug appears on the floor. Slippers appear on the rug.
A glass appears on the table. Water appears in the glass.
A tapestry appears on the wall. A pattern appears in the tapestry.
Books appear on the shelves. Letters appear in the books.

Hair appears on the pillow. A face appears in the hair.
Eyes appear on the face. Lids appear on the eyes.
Lashes appear on the lids. A shiver appears on the lashes.
A screen appears in the shiver. Dreams appear on the screen.

Dreams move on the screen of the retina.
You move your elbow. I touch you.
You turn over. Warmth appears under the blanket.
A dream appears in the warmth. The sun appears in the dream.
