silence then calm…

panic then desperation…

the tormentor and the tormented
play volleyball
out on the floppy sandal beach
neither one listens very much
to what the other is saying
over inexplicable words
that mean nothing to both
they draw new definitions
in the sand
until the skull
appears and nakedly grins
from out of nowhere
and everywhere at once
the skull walks sideways
and not at all
hangs up the telephone
kicking up honesty
like building castles
