The Thickness

Lead notes take the evening toward cacophony 

Sutures from familiar needles thrust weighty thread through the thickest of fabric 

Gathering among the ever directed eager audiences

Varied and poised to splice themselves in 

Composites all played to volume

Flesh-suits on rack 

Queued as the lot step out onto familiar platforms

Convoluted yet repetitious the script and dance

as heavy shadowed hands pull and push

Causing the glimmering facades to shed

as the staged lot scramble to find their next marker

Subtleties fracture these figureheads

and my gratitude goes to the unseen for clipping these tethers

Shoulders relax away from ears

and I am finally able to settle into a muted solitary serenity

A story written by another
