Something is in the house… Sounds...growling, howling. We see through its eyes. It moves quickly, hungrily.
Does it want to get out? Is it looking for something? It sounds frustrated, Despairing, tearing
Has it broken in? Does it live there?
Outside.
Is outside real?
* *
windows, doors, reflections,
borders, frames, boundaries:
I move to them, I turn away,
I traverse the debris, the signs, clutter,
people clutter, keeping clutter;
my shapeless shuffles,
repeating circles…
* *
Windows frame the light and dark:
Outside; people, movement, space,
Too exciting, too desired?
Glamorous, colourful, dangerous?
It prowls the house; we hear its sounds
It’s endless tours of stairs and rooms.
