Listlessly listing

Something sits

Unstirred

Inside me

Something

Dark and resting

Something

Stark and waiting

Bated

Listlessly

Listing

A ship unbalanced

A stone upturned

A lover spurned

A nightmare earned.

There is silence

Screaming

Tongue tied

From the place

Where my throat meets

My clavicle.

That puddle in the skin

Beneath which

My voice

Spins

Out of control

Whole

And bidding,

Hidden.
