more whispers from behind the screen

only now
bigger than whispers

clammed up sentences
big moves
pigs in giant eiderdowns
an arm and a leg lease that laughs in the face of
ice

louder
louder
tap tap tap tap tap

how can you not hear?
there’s a 16 stone **** outside waxing roots to bring your
house down

you CAN hear it
if it were two mute planktons going ******* in the middle of the pacific you’d
still
hear it

feed a dead moth to the wolf

do malnourished spiders stay and shrink or do they find
more uplifting dvd’s?

rise at 5am
door frozen closed by the night
glow plugs get their 20 seconds on the stage

and then another 20
and another 20

ease out
open up
lend a light to the wind and harvest
the fire

the foundations of your house are very expensive and there’s
bills
to pay.
