Lovesounds.
Very soon, perhaps, pre-utterance, your sounds
Became air: so that
In every clichéd sense I breathed
Your name: exhalations
Dispersed a million photons of light
Moting and seeking corners
To bounce off: with all
My petty speech acts they came back to me.
When abundant they cluster
And null space: through their
weave of filaments this glittering web
loses transparency after a while.
Light in these conditions takes
A mucoid consistency: if space
Collapses, then time rears and
Throws down its laws of warp.
Soon after very soon this culture
Epithelials all sites of exchange:
Even those fulfilled by eyes.
It's hard to see through light -
And speech's solid glottals
Barely note the absence of sight.
But pressure ingested threatens
To blow my throat ' spitting's not allowed
So I vapourise the air and light inside.
Transmutes into familiar water '
A substance I can deal with.
