Floating Dolls
Barbara Brayner
Collaboration: Amanda de Oliveira
Strangely pursuing a purpose
A path to freedom
To the endless
Imitating floating dolls
Chasing an empty collar
A reason to forget
To the past
Hiding floating dolls
Letting conformity through
The wretched mind
To feel whole
Crossing floating dolls
Flying away conscience
Until you reach the in-between
The heroic harp
Imagining floating dolls
Diving deep alone
With an ached heart
A forgotten feeling
Replacing floating dolls
Clearing the sky
The open mind
To conquer everything
Burning floating dolls
Safely noticing a weakness
An illusion
To plan a way-out
Blowing floating dolls
Getting closer to the answer
To the unknown
The question
Following floating dolls
Waking up from abysses every morning
Hiding from where you are
Floating back…
Landing floating dolls
