Boundaries

Here, everyone wants a window overlooking the ocean.

We remember rainforests when swamps steam up in summer. 
Tourists drag surfboards and coolers of beer to the beach.
The building on the knoll has the name of Cavalier.

Cavalier can mean a gallant, a knight; someone offhand or dismissive.

It's said the ghost of a WWII soldier limps through corridors at night.
A piano starts playing at dawn in the grand ballroom.
What do you understand of this time and the idea of haunting?

For many months parents could not bear the sight of playgrounds,
where only the wind set the swings in motion.

I think everyone has at least one ghost of themselves by now.
One is always dreaming of inventive ways to encounter others.
One finds the practice of solitude the hardest lesson of survival.

I can't remember the name of the movie in which a man
beheaded all the roses in a bouquet to encircle his wife with petals.
