Writing
written by: CJ Delous
You want to put the barrel of the gun in their mouth,
to stop the noise drowning the music out;
in thrall to the curvatures described by birds in flight
& feelings inscribed in nameless streelights.
You want a language defiant of time:
indelible lines,
chords of memory
transcendental & sublime,
the contingencies of life unified
into one
single
song.
You want what you cannot have:
an abstract/visceral expression of all that
unknowable,
ephemeral
sound enclosed within bones
where the brain sits
& compels you to this
futile release,
the fading gaze of a caged beast,
never the same as it’s first raw moment
of existence.
