what is this i hear?
is it november or my body dismembered?

yes i've been depuzzled
de feathered

dis lo ca ted

how come you ask
i ask this too

de puzz led yet puzzled still
by what was once a thrill
and is now only dust

"but dust is still matter", whispered the wind

and went on to tell me
"i am a beautiful tornado, say it"

i am a beautiful tornado
i repeat
i am a beautiful tornado of everything and nothing
layers of you all and none
a thick spiral of sounds
a calm storm of what could be what was and what might have been

but this is what it is

it

not me not you not her no one dear no one

then again i realise
none of this is mine
neither am i
not even words or letters or emotions that are themselves as clear as water, as thick as mud and as deep as transparent quicksand

i shouldn't be here should i?

i'll say it now and i'll try to believe it Scarlett

"frankly my dear, i don't give a damn"
