Among the stars one stands out whose blue brilliance delights us. It is the blue star that we followed when we were walking towards our rendez-vous.

We imagine that we are moving through the dark blue sky amid the twinkling stars, traveling worlds. I hold Chosposi close to me and feel her warm, elastic flesh, full of future life. I like to take her soft head in my hands and, forehead to forehead, look deep into her eyes. What I see there then is more beautiful and stronger than all the worlds that can exist in the sky. We fall asleep. In the morning I'm awakened by the paleness of the sky and sing:

"Purple stretches to the west,

as the golden dawn breaks.

Sleep my love, sleep again,

And your spirit will leap

To fly away,

Like a myriad of butterflies

And guide us, the Refugees,

To the New World.

Dream my love, dream again,

And your breath

With the Creator's breath,

Will unite

To calm the ocean

That carries our bodies,

And to give life

To other bodies.

Sleep my love, sleep again.
