after the fact

the silence that returns

in reverse

like its cursed

says of course:

its not the figure

that is faced 

but the obstacle

that spans the gap;

a soundproofing that 

rebounds

what’s been

caught in this glass

trapped like some

common wasp

frozen and

never meant

to last

there’s no

portal to be freed

no revelation no gasp

from the other side

just a moment

by moment

by moment

ripping

of substance

from the surface

like a stripping

of wax
