shush

shush

for ceri

 

 

you are a bundle of alphabet parts tangled

into pet-names unintelligible

infantile sweet talking in tongues

while you wash the dishes

you are words i have never met

words i can’t assign objects to

only the flavour of your skin to

or that strange brightness in your eyes that

i have never seen in another human living thing to

you are my strange vowels and consonants

secret passwords uttered in low tones in public

screamed while tearing around the new apartment

a tiny fresh country with ugly old curtains

a shire, a borough belonging to us

it’s sole two inhabitants speaking a language incomprehensible

to anyone outside of this
