I hear a sound with body, a great whale,

A giant ship, a sinewed vessel

Undulating in vicious clouds.

It’s mechanisms creak

And echo

Returns back to me.

I am alone in the whale.

Its mouth is a thousand miles wide.

And I sit with the long fingers which filter krill.

Too big to be swallowed

Too small to be bothered

Its dark and you are not with me.
