"His laughing ribs grind a whale song." -Patrick Culliton, from Hornet Homily

Complications



I’m stuck suspended

in mid air


in the middle of a room

with a white door


and white walls

and a white carpet


and there is no gravity


when there is no gravity

like this


you can’t move

no matter how hard you try


I kick and scream

and flail about

but I do not move


the door never opens


behind me

my shadow sits and watches
