Slow as a neighbour’s plant
vindictive, timid.
Slow as a ripple static
hush.
An oblong wax melting away,
slow,
slow as raindrop stuck on a tree
As a splash of colour unable to blend
a monologue twirling inside my stomach
a song so old
with cough drops all around the drawers
dying
slow
dying
repetitive
insipid
Once a melody
now only an arm
now only a forehead
nothing at all
A nightmare in blue
It knows nothing now
only a flat desperation of air
The feet knows the crevices of life.
Look carefully..
there!
A small dot and a fanned breath of a leaf.
Slow.
