There was her sickroom in the 14th floor. I used the lift. She lay in a bed. She saw me. "Welcome" she said. There was a big window behind her. I saw small houses. I saw chimneys. Smoke flew in the wind.

Reggae with Wings
Birds fly toward my country. A far-off north area. They come over from there. The birds make a file and they cut wind and advances. The wings support the bodies powerfully. The earth helps them by the mysterious power. The birds cross an ocean. They find a land. The island where I live in is their important perch.
