the boy is explained in the dark made smaller and tighter than his thirteen years invented a-tread each direful night ; in place of restfulness he is tussled :
itchy within moans of a growth owning pain domestic air is newly surrogate the boy flees upstairs the condition of the home is sickly excreted beads from the fibres a pale mix is gland a perspiration out of sorts pursed spritzed lively then a wing-ed light smog
keeping to his room he sits on his bed to 'wait it out' the sun downs as fruited ideas treacle up the pine wood walls as otherworld tones flute the flumes that plumb the walls as his mother clears the dishes with the radio on as the fathers increasing tardiness makes the wound hour leaden further
outside wind starts churning up the monster hustling the coniferous trees stoking the forrest for its brazen voice jeeving hard upon the house dry ******* inducing a perverse osmosis within pressurized audibility is clayed hairs on the carpet tick static .... this negative duress
outside the moon hides its legend an autumn owl takes the bough just above the boys window it hunches into its ruffle retches up a pellet of prey fur and crushed bone clatters dryly into the gutter
the boy works his jaw relieving his popping ears the rooms climate becomes sparky important items radiate auras : the scorpion in formaldehyde stolen from school grandmas mourning ring on a string suspended above his desk an old key discovered in the woods
investigation a brief hole in sound a slim bik of light traverses over the boy the bed and out into the hallway it winks gone and sips of smoke like lithe neat scraps of silk start livening the corners of vision
he stands opens his closest and dresses for sleep yield to routine
Mother enters always a human breath of pre decay warmth here to make him into his bed bound by her neat practiced tucks the boy receives her loving words but she's in a separated world from his distortion gums up the audibility he attends to lips the blessings don't function right mistress smudges are left in the air they trail from the corners of her mouth with the expressive turns of her head
fending lightly from the room she blows a kiss at the doorway it punches a little galaxy swirl and suspends a heated blue weave of the hand and she is gone
door concluded and the light left on the wall flower patterns crick and shale loose they cash into the flooring and in turn the floorboards palpitate finely feathering into a unreliable state
less than a minute later ... fathers presence makes an apologetic attempt at a ghost-walk sounds clumbered in an aquarium he slides his back down the drunken partition and talks he sells a story of personal wretchedness some lesson is vague flammability the boy takes the readings of the distant vocal squall pauses in the erratic speech weather expect replies but the boy fears this colonized version of the father
though anger father does not enter rumbles his fists, feet and frustration at the wall stands and punches his footfalls to the master bedroom
the parents together now closeted amniotic their world fidgets fiercely and swells swaddled in their own dramatics firing blindly their voices travel the pipes in the walls back to the boys room drowned of discourse but not the aggressive 'passion' flaring out they plunder the boys ears
Sudden ! ; brakked smell of flint a bird slams the window dead crack in the pressure unbearable penetrating release screaming the boy host violent minds that bind are loosened subpoenaed the boy recoils and fends this raid kicks off the bedding strips free of his pyjamas a thick layer of his own goes with it fleecing his actual skin raw stinging exposure he tugs at the flay of his own rubbery peel enough layers of dermis in one grip and pull to make real hurt raw of pain (it feels) tug-tug grip and pull sleeves off of limbs and a sappy caul from his bonce he doffs the leather onto the floor fresh wash of song fierce waves of signals hot and cool he ***** up his matty sheered hide "**** it !" pulls up the window enough vent an outward 'gush' as the pressure balances the boy dispose push the viscid pelt out the boy expels disgorged into the night
