DAY

The body is the tree of enlightenment,

The mind like a clear mirror stand;

Time and gain wipe it diligently,

Don't let it gather dust.

Charlie and Dani sit on the bonnet of their unmarked car, admiring the landscape.

He's eating a pear, she's sipping lazily her coffee.

"Ehi Dani, I was wondering: is it possibile to not have any thoughts?...Y'know…if you 're thinking to not think, you're thinking about something actually…"

"Maybe you can start by not talking…" an unseen smile on her lips.

Sun shines on their heads and in his mind, warming his soul. Happy to be here with her. No killers and no death bodies. Only Charlie and Dani. Together but not together . Not yet.
