Through the dark jungle

of suffocating seaweed --


we hope our way out.


Door de duisternisDurch die Dunkelheit
van verstikkend wier hopen --dichter Algen hoffen wir --
we ons een uitweg.uns einen Ausweg.

Still the same panorama.


A prospectless view.

Where could I be lost?

There are distant sounds, maybe --

Zywa 20,000 hours under the sea

Qui - et   qui - et   qui - et

Space is shooting away
over the panorama window

Nebulae around our spiral dive
back into the ocean, Captain Colin
hovers us through echoes of life
signals in the round suite

20.000 hours is far, lying down
on bean bags, we drink from crystal
and live in eternity
There is no news

The two-year-old girl
points out the starfish
her sister is sleeping
in mammy's lap

The sonar manoeuvres us
through deeply tuned shadows
in the searchlights, the murky darkness
of the unseasonable, moonless night

until we wash ashore in a fjord
