FOG: Fog covers this region. / Can you still hear my voice?… - Mirkka Rekola

FOG: Fog covers this region. / Can you still hear my voice? / I don't understand trees. / They try to grab our hair. / A branch has fallen on you. I know that. / Could you look behind me: / is there a load / on my back, as well?
