white noise from ward 3

white noise from ward 3

no words

no letters

only canvas unpainted

dark backlit shape mover

selling quantities unknown

of pain(less) flesh

remover mechanized

intricate collector of detritus

found down there

between the beds

and tall steel poles

scuttle ravenous in the blear

of quaking no-night

shiver slips to open funnel womb

Mantis not unready

its prayer  

whispered

from beyond the other side

of yellowed alterations

in spectral swirl

embroidered eyes peer

roll to white

turn over the night

to seeping half sun
