Now night is falling china dolls open their eyes

heedless of those presents

Besides, everything, everything is silence

and the eyes of the others are sealed by a sound sleep


Often the dolls begin to dance

but sometimes their tears are so irrepressible

so irrepressible, unrestrainable

that cover whole beds swelling their face


Then they nearly get breathless

until they feel they're suffocating

They know they shall not be able to die


They keep on smiling

but their lips get bigger and softer

and their face gets torn

Something starts moving

inside the stillness of their own matter

like a worm devouring them


... Meanwhile they keep on dancing
