Rooms and corridors
The tram on the hill sings sound waves along its track softly echoing off the trees in the distance, I peer and listen to their response The wind carries the song to the sky, I float along in the full light where the owls remain silent, their grey call nowhere to be heard Fortress, North and South House Monk Village, Owl, Westfield A humming sound, turbulence from the platform in the cave swallowing us up A stalactite drips everything shines smooth, auras of those who lived here, echoes of how it once was, and yet it's just an ordinary ride

Tram on the hill
Just one road, nameless on the map, that one of course -- am I following!

Every drop its own pathway, that's how water makes -- its way to the sea.

The road has lost us, we have left it, over there -- it's looking for us.

From the river, forest everywhere with yellow knights, turkey tails and white-bearded trees Sometimes there is a silence and I hear the treecreeper here and there a stone which is described on the map of this area a map that is not a map but a summary of intersections, bridges and solitary trees Tonight I will rest in an easy chair that important invention after the folding chair, the tilting chair the swivel chair and the wheelchair luckily I'm whole inside not shaken in a coach with suspension fit for a rest day for considerations about my journey and the world accepts the outcome

Inexperienced travellers get lost so soon in unknown regions They are tempted by alleys and signals and go down the stairs to the inside ignorant where they are, somewhere for real or just romping around a little in their heads, turned crazy crazier craziest by their senses which surround them with walls that they want to touch to know if they are hard or that they can float right through them at a gallop They are looking for a hand, a body They want to talk, fight if necessary with someone who will grab their axis to stop the monologue that shrills into their ears

The inside of the city
A brief break on the road too tired for a nap or to really eat here, something that they don't even have It's no use to take my coat off I just keep that one glove on as well I wish I was at home, in bed not those bright lights, not that endless dark night still to go
