Feel

Turn off the lights.

            Close your eyes.

                        Take a deep breath in,

                                    A deep breath out, and say out loud

                                                The word –

Crunch.

Feel, then

Your tongue

Break, crackle, splinter –

Into a thousand little pieces;

Scatter everywhere
            Like a puff of ash,
            Like autumn leaves,
Like a wisp of homeless sparrows.
