deaf
the whispering creaks in
to hide the black deafness that resides in my palm
call the stretching violin out of the woods
let it ride my back
screaming me outwards
blinding the light only to capture my looming eyes
sit there oh old one and wait
your cage will hold you still while I tear through the center
the plastic, the bricks, the promises, the sweet taste of dust takes over
suck it up!
suck it tight!
suck it whole into your yellow-bellied face
no longer will the mirror crash us into the cyclone of narcissistic needs
come to me now and shower my wings
one feather at a time strumming
one feather at a time drumming
now !
it comes !
it seeps into the whispering creaks of silent walking.
