Once we will emerge from a dream with a poem clamped in our teeth.

This book is built as a labyrinth of dreams: you go into one room - there they drink ghostly monsters, you go to another - there Proust speaks with Andrei Rublev (I wonder in what language?), In the third - They collect suitcases, drink by a ruined house. It hurts and funny to watch them, it hurts and funny to watch myself.

And suddenly I notice that someone is looking at me from above. As if I am not me, but just a puppet man. A huge face approaches me, leans over, opens a monstrous scarlet mouth, bites the scruff and sharply straightens. They pull me somewhere, I am flying, bright sunlight beats in my eyes. All.

I am someone elongated poem.
