you are my consequence
           shifting breaks upon a page
                   water flecked and marked as if
an      army      of      purposeful      ants
were trum pet ting across

(but they
                        are only little words with too many ellipsis
                        and never ever a full stop)

i mutter on as i was
                         did
                         could
                        
                                              how mother called for dinnertime
and father called for sleep

                                
                               and you for darker things

(but they never knew
                                           only when she found
                                           and he
                                                        refusing to gift it me)

you call on in quiet hues of
pink and grey

of morning time
and gentle ringings of silence in
                                                                     a stopped cord of receiver

snip snip

(but they always tend
                                                           when im about to sleep
                                                                        about to eat
                                                                          about to shit
                                                                           about to fuck
                                                                          about to weep)
a bout to end
                                    ding ding




fighting fanciful ideas of togetherness
the title isnt mine.
i thieved it from a dear friend of mine.

but it got stuck in my head as perfect (?) for this, whatever it is, it is, whatever it isnt, and wishes to be.

The whole thing is amazing! You've done some great things with structure in the past, but this is really something else. Reminds me of E.E. Cummings in a way.
