καιρός remembered

Like a dream in transit

Aeroplanes came and went. Lost in thought, I watched the loading and unloading taking place right outside in front of me. Suddenly, the figure of a young woman glided into my field of vision and lingered there, an arm’s length away. She stood with her back to me. The contours of her legs shimmered through her casual dress and seemed to flow into its folds. If I stretched out my arm, I would touch her hip. If I stretched out both arms, I could gently pull her onto my lap… Instead, I picked up my camera.

A moment later, I was daydreaming again, my eyes fixed on the empty space in front of me, whilst outside, in the mist, airplanes flew back and forth.
