otherness

 
 
 
 
 
a perfect shout
settles

 

into quiet
leavened spaces,
 
draws an empty
circle full, taut

 

between numb
and absent
tomorrows-
 
there the desperate
plead,
the bargainers and soothsayers
meet

to exchange echoes

that fail to carry
against that tide
of static:

 

 

of too many mouths
without smiles;
 
of too few ears
to hook to that
hollowed air
 
 
 
and everyone
too busy screaming
to hear nothing
 
drown

 

 

 

in the perfected noise

of otherness.
