Growling garble of the outside:
What saying you?
Are you chanting a curse
into the woodwork, bowing beams
into me,
so to touch a girl
without your hand, nor lip?
Things that creep
do no perceive
the things of body, but of tender
feeling. A subtle shush.
A sense,
wriggles, as a nightmare thumbs pages quick
To get to the deep part.
Pound at the door:
Are you knocking?
Or insisting a nightcap?
You know I can not stop you from entering.
