Elephants journey to a yard of bones

that girl asleep in the shade

limbs askew with moss and dust and drool?

she unfurls to find the days, the hours, the years had got behind

and her Electric Demon powered down still standing

in the distance, Elephants journey to a yard of bones

ease their bulk low to the ground

Ladybugs land about her

whither into the dust

her brow furls into a frown 

before a deep sigh hits her hard.

something has snuck in, a flutter just off center

that thing that woke her?  could be a Yearning?

and she sighs again, to the low hum

of her Electric Demon powering up

dead eyes now a'fire

doors in limbo

All around me I hear

doors opening, closing

clocks ticking

indiscreet voices purring

machines in their low hum;

I fold into a limbo

of being here

of fitting in

of being not quite hired

All around me I hear

doors opening, closing

I fold into a limbo

of being…
