monsoon wind the shepherdess’s whistle out of tune *** below zero the silence of our steps

aftershocks— 

a beggar’s bowl gathers 

more dust 

family garden party 

a bumblebee fans 

the rumours

-------

still dawn— 

overshadowing

this inner chaos

Die Leere Mitte, 2023

 

R.C. Thomas and Hifsa Ashraf – Tan Renga

 

absolute zero

a strand of gray curls

around my forehead    (ha)

updating

my Facebook profile    (rct)

 ------

  crypto autumn

the snake skin clings

to my bare feet    (ha)

 

treading carefully

where it counts the most    (rct)

 ------- 

twitching mice

following you

following me    (rct)

 

sinking in

our desktop pits    (ha)

-------

 isotopic abundance

our egos reach

their points    (ha)

 

an ellipsis

leaves space for more    (rct)

 --------

 c0ld w1nd

my f0ne vibr8s

w1v every msg    (rct)

 

dec1pher1ng

the b1nary c0des    (ha)

 --------

 drop by drop

breaking down

a caffeine kick    (rct)

molecules dance

with my nerves    (ha)
