living inside the drum /
means silence is never unnerving /
the ceiling is skin twitching /
we don’t have to breathe /
to make it vibrate /
those points are brought down from elsewhere /
oh a dulled bloom of light /
spreading over the head above /
(we strolled past ears decades ago) /
tremors are their own wind /
pushing hair away from your face /
open mouths thrumming /
those fleshy holes emptied /
shaped for some absent sign
