A carriage would come by pillow streets to take me to the continent. Pillow streets to a continent built on clouds. But I lost the mystery there, on the continent. The mystery that brought the carriage to me on all those bedtime travels. I lost the mystery, on the continent, to the hoard of tongues and mouths. I lost the mystery to the mordant, trailing horde. My dreams have retched me up without my mystery. The stomach of dreaming curdled against me.
