Summary/Abstract: I am sitting on the garden bench, in front of the gypsophila hedge, under the bare-necked, 100-year-old black pine trees opposite the Sandcastle. I turn my face towards the weak sun. As if I wanted to swill, to wash away the growing number of warts and the swelling pock-marks with the warm, clean light. We had the nice, complicated roof tiles of the Sandcastle replaced five years ago, but a few tiles need to be replaced again, a few tiles need to be adjusted on the steep tower, too, which I would like to have declared an ivory tower in the beginning (I put my desk right under it, de facto in the tower, etc), but then one day I noticed that sand was ticking and falling: in fact, I was sitting in a sand-clock.
