[girlbetweengrey]

insert the coin
and spill the words
life listed tactics
found for the birds
settle and startle
combine and decay
all that is flesh
will all soon decay

fickle and fraught
with open end lyre
cash your stones out for diamonds
and stoke up the fire

responding to calls
the 3am scene
the machine is the voice
of between you and me

nonverbal and dynamic
i set this to spin
unconscious the weaving
of fingers and pen
allowing the verbiage
the vernacular to flow
and soot is the ink
the dove is the crow
