and still discovering unseen places …

**3/4 - ONE MORE SHORTCUT** holiday-mode in full effect sitting on packed suitcases doing many things for “the last time” entering my favourite library and getting asked today: if I would need any help ;-) closing the research-papers at No 49 dancing na teatro do bairro walking the 28 way - location scouting having some balconair feeling sad and happy at the same time although I had as many ups and downs I never had before I already know that this probably was the best time in my life I really, really experienced and learned a lot and it was a pleasure being on the way with so many different people - giving me input and feedback!

holiday-mode in full effect
sitting on packed suitcases
doing many things for “the last time”
entering my favourite library
and getting asked today: if I would need any help ;-)
closing the research-papers at No 49
dancing na teatro do bairro
walking the 28 way - location scouting
having some balconair
feeling sad and happy at the same time
although I had as many ups and downs I never had before I already
know that this probably was the best time in my life
I really, really experienced and learned a lot
and it was a pleasure being on the way with so
many different people - giving me input and feedback!

I SAY: “LISBON”
WHEN I ARRIVE FROM THE SOUTH AND CROSS THE RIVER AND THE CITY OPENS UP AS IF BORN FROM ITS NAME
IT OPENS AND RISES IN ITS NOCTURNAL VASTNESS
IN ITS LONG SHIMMERING OF BLUE AND OF RIVER
IN ITS RUGGED BODY OF HILLS
…

LISBON WITH ITS NAME OF BEING AND NONBEING
WITH ITS MEANDERS OF ASTONISHMENT INSOMNIA AND SHACKS
AND ITS SECRET THEATRE SPARKLE
ITS MASKLIKE SMILE OF INTRIGUE AND COMLICITY
WHILE THE WIDE SEA STRETCHES WESTWARD
LISBON SWAYING LIKE A SAILING SHIP
LISBON CRUELLY BUILT NEXT TO ITS OWN ABSENCE
