II

entrance
of chocolate truth hazelnuts newspaper
we assume corridors and trunks
from signs on doors
you're nervous but I'm confident
there are many soldiers with novel expressions
narrow layers of air strong light falling
on the stairs
filtering through the wire net of relationships
the elephants lie down
dark satellites
is this a brochure of appearances? lead us under the curtain
and into the friendly rooms
an unexpected finger suddenly touches us
