the failed body is creeping downhill across the decaying floor of the earth underneath it is waiting to open & cradle me the formless thing reaching up to grasp at the wrists & the ankles brushing the face in the dark telling me about the quiet it has been telling me for so long i have wanted to hear it so long sound so loud it goes quiet sound making me silent as the roar underneath erases what no one heard anyway there are old words still dripping through years come play come play in the snow with us & i will forcing the hands & knees forward the wrists break but i will get to you we stop at the bottom sinking the body into a river a great weight from below the hard pull of the earth as i lay there i thought of the way here so focused on inching forwards now every wound of the body a record a story i can't stop reading when i looked back i saw there were bones washed all down the hill a young fox turn & vanish at the top we have stayed here a long time years the water running over us the face always wet the weak neck held only just enough to keep me above but there is a place & i will go there no matter how the body tries to cling to its useless struggle there is a place not one exact place an expanse where all sound is forced quiet & all silence becomes loud it has always wanted me the only place that ever did i was distracted a long time with trying to explain & not listening properly letting the body control where we went & where we did not there was never any way to get what i needed now on the edge of the last winter waiting to fall into the earth i am taking the body back i came here from the hills with a blood trail map drifting behind me an endlessly long ribbon fallen out of a small child's hair
