When Thomas brought the news that the house I was born in no longer exists,
Neither the lane nor the park sloping to the river, nothing, I had a dream of return.
Multicolored. Joyous. I was able to fly.
And the trees were even higher than in childhood,
because they had been growing during all the years since they had been cut down.
