Sill [no soul at all]

INT - JULIAS' HOUSE - THE BLANK ROOM - AUTUMN EVENING

 

Pick teeth in maw

shuttering ;

I imagine you

Minotaur

 

You mail me voices

you unmend each night

I clothe the window

but you are brighter

you fill

 

I replenished your alter

re-burdened the sill

new meats from the Butcher

it's quite an arrangement

for a carnival such as yourself

 

A fortunes soil of gutting

it's the best I'm willing to offer

a meal

a wealth

so here it is

a tilt to your health

I back out of the room

I close the light

blackout

                                                           CUT TO :

 

ANOTHER DAY - WORLD AT PLIGHT

 

I dress up my morning

and enter the room

a tiding,

a horror,

a vacuum !

 

You have scatted and cast

and made gore of my gift ;

made rent and wipings of the curtains

made leavings off of an ill stomach

 

What can I give you ?

how much more ?

how may I appease you

my Minotaur ?
