"Istun parvekkeella kirjottamassa ja katsomassa merta. Tämä on naisen manifesti, hänen testamenttinsa. Vapaan naisen. Aurinko on laskemassa. Katselen horisonttiin maitokahviani siemaillen. Ilma on lämmin. Ei painostavalla, vaan miellyttävällä tavalla. Tunnen vienon tuulenvireen. Siemaise kupistani. Kohennan asentoani. Hymyilen häpeämättömän tyytyväisenä. Loistan kuin aurinko. Riisun silmälasini ja annan tuulen leyhähtää kasvoillani. Suljen hetkeksi silmäni. Nojaan taaksepäin. Avaan silmäni. Ja olen yhä täällä. Olen yhä minä. Hän makaa sisällä huoneessa. Kuulen hänen raskaan hengityksensä.
