MYSTERY OF THE FIVE HOUSES- Soonest Nathaniel I At the house of light bulb, there is fog. The man with the child in his eyes has a cat which sits daily on his lap, gazing constantly at the big sky, searching curiously for Peter Pan. In the warm room, the Lord of the Reedy River sleeps. Under the ivy, The handsome cabin boy sips his cappuccetto grosso. II At the house of silence, they pose riddles that only the dead can answer. The grave robbers do the dance of the dogs before unearthing secrets. The wolf and the raven play the peacemakers in a debate over greed. No evidence against the black sheep, the alibi pans out, and again the tomb becomes a womb from which the fetus of truth is aborted. The dead pity the living, as slaves beg for the cadavers of other slaves. III At the house of leaves, the roads fall out of the windows. the decomposing trees make for bridges, bridges over the gulf of ignorance. The children of rain join the roots to their school, underground.
