Clock cracks out the hours

"Wind and storm colored July. Also, in the middle, cadaverous, awful, lay the grey puddle in the courtyard, when holding an envelope in my hand, I carried a message. I came to the puddle. I could not cross it. Identity failed me. We are nothing, I said, and fell. I was blown like a feather. I was wafted down tunnels. Then very gingerly, I pushed my foot across. I laid my hand against a brick wall. I returned very painfully, drawing myself back into my body over the grey, cadaverous space of the puddle.

This is life then to which I am committed."

Antonymes - Lost In Waves Of Light by Fluid Radio

D r i p dripping of a long forgotten tap

your ghost it dwells

along the mildew

among the empty

oyster shells

B e a t beating of a long leaking heart

your echo swells

along the stained

among the damp

alcoholic smells

(watered down nauseous waves become)

Pinpointed

in loose fingered

crumpling pages

yellowed lines

hooked

to your delirious

mazes

(and our breath sweeping along the clock cracks and the spider silk maps, stops.
Teeters over the edge, caught at the blades' tip of such an absolute. )
