Calm. He said
be calm. Her love

chaotic. Synapsis
melting over deformed

clocks. Tongues
deliberately avoiding

truth. Terror
like an unrequited

stalker. Truth is
anything but somnolent

calm. All this in
a kitchen of overflowing

pans. Tiny hammers
tinkered between hearts

grappling. Through
the kitchen window, a

bushfire.
