TWO WOMEN – Please, please come in. Easy smile, pregnant with meanings, masks on the back wall, this is an open house, my heart is open, see all the flowers on the table, the phone is ringing, just unplug it, spacious and pleasant, here we can sit in peace, beside the children playing on the floor, take off your armour, life’s paraphernalia, the chaos of the city lies outside the fence, here there is space, ease, refreshments on the table and we can be open with each other, entrust ourselves to words. Your life, my life in bright colours, against an ashen backdrop, specks of black and crimson brushed off our clothes a fragrant mist enveloping the stage as coloured sparks circle, glittering words, reflections, are displayed on the table between the cups, car keys, the good intentions that have come to nothing, the chaos of the city lies outside the fence, plans to chase up an hour, a day, the essence of life squeezed for an instant. Ah, this charade has been going on far too long whenever two women talk.
