News Of The Whirled
It's all pix
elated into mess, crackled
digital distortion, tonight's
broadcast. The set's
failing.
A hunger, a shadow,
black furred blur
of flesh and age
mouths at the edge
never still except the lull
of false hope
its only cunning.
It's all so neat
so cancelled and concluded
here at the ending
and yet occluded
dispossessed;
the ordered home so long
invaded--
a house
redecorated
by earthquakes.
