Bloody music. I hate the way it infiltrates.
Its nasty line in eavesdropping on what's
going on inside. Good spying, because it
knows exactly when it can make you open
the can, uncork the bottle, break the seal on
the jar- all the nooks where you had hidden
the raw unchewed material. it hoiks out
and waves it about in front of your eyes. Look
and remember, it says. You thought you could
lock this away? Can blood hide from a cat?
Can petrol hide from a flame? No more shall
this be concealed. Listen to me, listen to me,
listen to me.

brilliant piece, new to me.

:) Nice. Does it have a title?

:) The book it's from is called Carrying the Elephant, but none of the poems have individual titles.
