Full room, heavy boxes - emptied. Small and cramped, pictures on the walls, on the floor, unfinished works of art, drawings, poems, writings, scrawled, unintelligible, unfinished, unfinished, unfinished! And his mumbling. God, his constant mumbling. Humming. Behind the door. locked, trapped. Stuck. A moment, a knocking, a rumbling. A constant room, a heavy room - emptied. It has tall concrete trees, mountains, black glass. This noisy town, this noisy town. It has statues from long ago, shining like moonlight. And he shaves his head, his violent head until it is clean and pure. He just wants clean, he just wants pure. There's makeup and skirts ripped, long, ankle-length, statues again, boy/girl 80/20, music, laughter down the hall. A silent bedroom, a pounding on the door, echoes. Deep breaths, deep breaths. Echoes, echoes and deep breaths. It rumbles here, the echoes, the breaths, this noise town, silent. Blue eyes and blue sea crash and explode and push against the rocks, the sand. There's a rumbling, down below, cars and drawers, this monster food, locks, locks, locked. Opened. Closed. Unlocked. Furniture scraping across the wood, the dancers dance backstage, in the restaurant, in the alley, the church, the pews. It's the wrong language and no translator. It's the car accident, the train crash, plane crash, shipwreck, ship start. It's a hand against wood. It's a gentle sea and sunlight on skin.

And He'll Sleep
