i. being there =

cover an absence

with more absence

ghosts that smile ghosts that shake hands

this weightless body

in an absurd field cracked open

uncovered gaping

the city and its lights

in a great heavy distance

how to crawl and be there again

remember

a last frenzied look around

being where

 

ii. going places =

weightless body moving

through walls like a terror

a new kind known only to itself

it doesn't crush it doesn't dominate

noone begs on knees noone suffers its weight

nonetheless it moves from room to room

everywhere the glass is vibrating

cutlery cracking

the static of the TV and the light breeze in the loft

room to room

through walls

no hiss no fit

calm calm calm

the terror glides

three quick breaths

two footsteps

hurry in the living room

the Mute is still staring quietly from the corner

 

move now, move now

to another place

to be there

to what place

 

iii.

 

lessen -

close to only almost at least

just a minute

until the recurring coastline dries up

and the barking dog turns skeletal

then turn

the unblinking merciless eye

until disembowelment

until no image no word

close to a cry for help until no mouth

close to just almost only at least

lessen -

until no space at all.
