Whispers


Michael, you have just seen your own mortality
as you scraped your belief system
off the walls of our apartment.

Garnished with parsley, the white meat
of a lightly cooked trevally witnesses its
fighting death – no creature,

man nor fish, has a fate
other than is writ in its entrails.
The haruspex is always spattered

                 with carnality.

                          *

Turn to the sky, throw a stick
upwards, and if perpetually it happens
to come down, lose yourself

to gravity – laugh instinctively, and
in that moment your released ethereal self
will unlock your sleeping,

and each star stifled by this cloudy night
vaguely uttering its protest will
augment your will, refine your imagination.

                 Scrape quixotically.
