There's a door...
There's a door into the dark, one gets used to it. One gets used to everything: houses and expensive clockwork. One can sit on the steps and think about trains that are leaving the great stations in Europe. Gloves left behind. The scent of phlox. There's a rustling outside the circle of light: creatures are passing. With love I remember the untidy little towns with optimistic names along the highway in the purple evening across the prairie. Harsh sun in motel rooms. The safety instructions on the wall: 'If you are deaf, and your travelling companion is blind...' I stopped too long in the forest. I often call the police, it's not worth calling the police, that's the way it is.
