HUSH

Hush, don't you see ?

Drooping shoulders under distant eyes

a mouthful of lacklustre aftertaste

Sitting like a gargoyle doomed to wait

in sculpted permanence until the next earthquake

Hush, see there 

Creeps fatigue, it spreads like cancer

Immobilising with the inability to act

and the world arrested in stationary spin

is patient in revolutionary anticipation

Hush, can you see ?

A silent storm dominates the shallows

with turbulent energy contained within

Floating conjecture in the ensuing game

played between surf and wave

Hush, I see

A twist in the tale, a fly in the ale

the inexorable ascent of aversion

Spreading like an ink drop in water

Permission not needed at the border
