BUNT: LITERARY JOURNAL FOR NEW POETS: April 2010

Consequence

I am inaudible above the subtle whistle.

I walked miles to search for silence.

Instead, I was strip searched.

This on my way home.

They redressed me like a copy of myself.

They fed my two eyes to two fish.

One of the fish followed me into the sea.

I nearly got eaten, but the fish put his

life in front of mine and I was miraculously saved.

Day two was a repeat, but day three

offered further consequence of swimming.

I am sure of what it was now that was bugging me.

I am almost absolutely sure.
