      <description>&lt;h2&gt;LOST SENSES&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;em&gt;How often do we have impression that someone&amp;rsquo;s stolen our dreams?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;em&gt;How often do we overestimate the toughness of our cuirass?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;em&gt;How often do we ask hoping for totally other answer?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;em&gt;How often do we stick pins under our nails? And another one and new one, each harder and thicker.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;em&gt;How often can we regret that we aren&amp;rsquo;t more despotic, that we didn&amp;rsquo;t insist more, that, instead,&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;we chose to be warm, sensitive and tutelar?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;em&gt;How often do we believe against our hope?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;em&gt;How often do we smile with tense muscle inside our chest?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;em&gt;How often do we feel gravel sliding off from our fingers clasped on the edge?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;em&gt;How often do we spread our madness on everyday toast and eat away newer and newer illusions?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;em&gt;How often do we rely on fortuity and we run blindly ahead along rail to nowhere?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;em&gt;Will it come or not from the opposite a rushing freight train with a new load of &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;other people&amp;rsquo;s hearts?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;em&gt;Do we already hear its wheels&amp;rsquo; patter approaching from the curve?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;em&gt;How often do we clench out teeth moving forward in blizzard, in darkness, frostbiting&amp;nbsp;the fingertips of our desires?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;em&gt;How often do we regret like Joel Barrish that we can&amp;rsquo;t go to the clinic where they would erase from our grey cells the gloss of her hair, the smile of her warmth, the memory of her touch, the smell of her skin&amp;hellip;?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;em&gt;The question is: do women like Clementine Kruczynski exist?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;em&gt;Even if the thickening reality dims if front of our eyes, even if we hear straight from HER lips that there is someone else, that it is not our voice that SHE is awaiting for&amp;hellip;..that even then, we want to remember against hunches, facts and opinions.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;em&gt;That we want to wait and wait for her, envying that guy her feelings&amp;hellip;..envying him more than air in a sinking dinghy&amp;hellip;..more than 1&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt; communion bike &amp;hellip;more than solitary retiree envies the &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;neighbors&amp;rsquo; Christmas dinner hubbub.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;em&gt;That we will dream every day, every moment, every breath &amp;hellip;.that it will be us, SHE calls in while caught in the net of passion and desire&amp;hellip;&amp;hellip;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black; font-family: &amp;#39;Times New Roman&amp;#39;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;That we will dream&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;she surrenders and follows her hankering, forgets him while giving up to the pleasure, that she won&amp;rsquo;t be able to stop it &amp;hellip;.that she will not want to stop it&amp;hellip;&amp;hellip;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>FRIGID</title>

      <description>&lt;h2&gt;FRIGID&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;span&gt;I like to go out into the garden in the morning in days like today. &lt;/span&gt;The sun shines but it&amp;rsquo;s not hot. &lt;span&gt;I like to call it crispy. It would just need a bit less sunshine and a bit more wind to be really cold&amp;hellip;hmm no, not cold, rather chilly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;Sometimes furs, words, gestures, woolen socks and&amp;nbsp;mulled wine are not enough to warm us up. The Chill &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;with his long icy fingers strokes the brinks of the soul leaving traits of white frost flowers. It&amp;rsquo;s not cold, for sure it&amp;rsquo;s not freeze. It&amp;rsquo;s the temperature of methaphisical climate temporarily goes down.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;Chill is silence&amp;hellip;..awaiting&amp;hellip;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;for touch unmeant not complete&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;for smile of the lips and eyes &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;for sound of mobile deep in the pocket&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;for May-honey words&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;for quiver of sms surprising our mobile&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;for flowers picked up straight from the flower-bed&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;for early-vegetable spring&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;for hope against her herself&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;for enthusiasm and engagement&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;for cramps of longing at 3 am&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;for stars above your hear at night&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;for porch with wicker armchair and raspberry tea in stoneware mug&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;for ladybug on your morning negligee&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;for green clover carpet under your bear feet&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;for dream with colorful fragrances among pine trees &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;for bulrush rustling on the lake&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; line-height: 150%" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;span&gt;Chill is conscious that on the other side of the milky window pane they are all there. All the wantings hibernated in impossibility. Hands&amp;nbsp;reached out&amp;nbsp;to fit the ice tile when you try to melt it with your thirty-four&amp;hellip;.four. To discover on the other side that SOMETHING we shouldn&amp;rsquo;t even think to hanker. Longings and wantings squeezed in the freezer between Grycan&amp;rsquo;s ice creams and ice cubes for fruit drinks. &lt;/span&gt;Let them stay there. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;They say it will be warmer tomorrow&amp;hellip;&amp;hellip;. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;h2&gt;WHISPER WHISPER ME&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;div&gt;The breath comes first....then the first scream. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Sometimes likewise, the hand of a doctor or a nurse, &amp;nbsp;by scream, looks for the breath.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;No one expects that a man would &lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;font style="background-color: #ffff88"&gt;whisper&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt; at the very beginning.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Would it be better if we came to the world with &lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;font style="background-color: #ffff88"&gt;whisper&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt; ?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Maybe the way it is now it&amp;#39;s better, we need to grow up to the &lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;font style="background-color: #ffff88"&gt;whisper&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It starts so innocently. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The&amp;nbsp;game called &amp;#39;Chinese Whispers&amp;#39;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It&amp;#39;s rather tamed scream than 100% &lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;font style="background-color: #ffff88"&gt;whisper&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt; inside the &lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;font style="background-color: #ffff88"&gt;whisper&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;From lips to the ear, from lips to the ear, from lips.........&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The first whispered misunderstandings screamed&amp;nbsp;out .&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And then - the end of&amp;nbsp;the game.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The adulthood approaches, adolescent &lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;font style="background-color: #ffff88"&gt;whisper&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt; into the hair curls.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And finally, the very last words whispered from nearly lifeless lips.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And between them ocean of whispers, more and less important.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;More important, those u dream of, listen to,wait for.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Some screams expressing tenderness seem too brazen.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Tenderness and &lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;font style="background-color: #ffff88"&gt;whisper&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt; are inseparable couple.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Voice turned to &lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;font style="background-color: #ffff88"&gt;whisper&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt; rustles with confidence, unspeakableness,concern, desire.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Energy of the &lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;font style="background-color: #ffff88"&gt;whisper&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt; entangles through the ear inside our body and soul.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Destroys regularity,rhythm, and peace of the second breath of the heartbeat of the thoughts order.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;One &lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;font style="background-color: #ffff88"&gt;whisper&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt; seeks for other &lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;font style="background-color: #ffff88"&gt;whisper&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Desire weighed with words on the verge of audibility.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Intimacy or it&amp;#39;s semblance......&lt;/div&gt;</description>
