Sand
And she frequently forgot,
That her body (all our bodies) is a house of sand.
That it had shattered and is shattering still.
Slipping stubbornly through fingers.

Reedbed
One morning after a night of snow, she walks into a reedbed. She parts the reeds, each slender white stalk bent under the weight of the snow. The reedbed surrounds a small marsh, where a pair of wild ducks are living. At its heart, where the thin sheet of ice meets still water, the ducks float side by side on its greyish-blue surface, necks bowed to drink.

Snow
Against the background of a black coat sleeve, a large flake of snow will reveal its crystals even to the naked eye. A scant couple of seconds and she has witnessed it all. Mysterious hexagons melting clean away.
When it first begins to fall, people stop what they are doing and turn their attention to the snow. On a bus, they lift their eyes from their laps and gaze out of the window for a time.

I saw some footage of this city, taken by a US military aircraft in the spring of 1945. The film was screened in the projection room on the first floor of the memorial hall, situated in the east of the city. The subtitles said that over a period of six months, starting in October 1944, 95 per cent of the city was obliterated.
