He is unreachable, night and day
a dream that won't let me go
We know everything about him
In his garden, we find something
tangible, a ladder, it challenges us
I climb to the bathroom window
Inside, we touch the cups
from which he drinks tea
but not with me
We take pictures of underwear
try on shirts and keep one on
It's not even exciting:
just sneaking in with a bit of stealing
nothing valuable missing
Maybe it's childish
but for me, he is a good friend
After playing tennis we shower together
and we wear each other's clothes
real contact, night and day
“She came in through the bathroom window” (1969, Paul McCartney)
Celtic symbolism: Ruis (the Elder), that thrives on challenges and change, and that protects horses in the stable from evil spirits; the Elder should be guided by Cailleach Beara (the mother of the Celts) and the Raven (the symbol of healing and protection)
