leak

out into the cold
night quilts day
as the three story
filing cabinet
leaks diamonds
and seeps
into the shadows

Here

swim against
foliage
as thick as
crystalising honey
and tumble
out into
the sun drenched
clearing
where
they have been waiting.

pop up onto
those rattling pins
lower the neck
to hide
quivering lips
from the
staring blue duos.

say nothing
move an inch-
you will wish you hadn’t

wait it out
they will
instruct
you further
now
you
are
here.
