The Net – Reiroshu Eigenlicht
2The Net
Reiroshu Eigenlicht
Legnano, Milan
Italy
Clawed at by the thorns
of mortality, canned
in a box of nerves
and chemistry.
I live in a haunted house
where objects breathe and
the skin of humanity folds
up, desperate doubt.
The backbone bends
to pick up the net,
knitted with seaweed.
It drips on the odorous hold:
the new cargo of events.
They struggle, they flounder,
wild eyes, mouths open,
flattened by the dull,
choking dawn of transience.

Getting into depth. Lovely.
A box of nerves and chemistry – great wording
