Just
looking at
this mossed cottage
and
listening to rival advertisements
you may not see what really took place
or
taking place inside;
so,
I’ll take you a tour around
some corners of this cottage.
And
I know you wouldn’t mind If I’d take a lantern
so you can have a clear glimpse
of those supposed dark corners,
and
let’s name our tour,
“Tour into the heart of darkness,”
yet
this is not a tour of fun; this is a tour of information,
so
you need to trust me, my words, and what you’d see.

Your title did immediately remind me of Conrad and then I saw you had mentioned so at the end.☺️

Hello alessandria today, Thank you so much for reblogging my posts. However, since all these posts are in my second poetry collection (that’s now in print), it would be a great help if you could delete them from your end. Thank you.
