I.

In and out of love,
someone’s psychological transistor breaks.

Their steps go dark and sink into the crypt
of daily habitat.

The whole city, friends and foes vanish from
the focal range, from the frothing talk.

Silence dims dialogue.

Their cage smashes open in a cave to a ritual:
the epoch of mere survival.

Ancestors, bulls and bears recycle
the caving walls to silent cinema.

They will replay the tracks of memory
spiked with bygone.

They will put motion into a roar and grind,
elapse days into a loop of sabotage.

In the recess of absence somewhere miscalculated,
they will spar with the wrong shadow.

To all the luminous whores
I prefer this misery.
