SILT
The sensational presence
of a pair of plump wormlings
lying in spastic twists either side of my brain.
Dumb, molluscan aerials
picking up the occasional low, static
whip through ECG gel or low-passed Antipodean thunder
somewhere in the ether.
Or the strained vocalizations of the earth, rending.
An acoustical life of internalized belches, moans,
involuntary blurts (names, curses) flung
out by the body at regular intervals as
a kind of attempted echolocation.
The data returned is of course nonsense.
– Nonsense caked in a dense filo of amber-coloured wax.
You appear
and say something
something.
Wearing the paralysed kabuki mask
of fear and trembling, sweetened
(if that’s the right word for those
chiselled, red runnels deep in your forehead)
with disappointment, exhaustion.
