A silent retrospective,
lounging, calm, relaxed
serenity surrounds.

chitter........scratch
sit up,
uncertainty unchains,
hmmmmm....

quietly again
chitter........scratch
confusion corrupts the night

chitter....scratch
louder, a little faster
paranoia permeates.
They are there, I hear them
they must be there?
Surely?

Chitter
did you hear it?
a small little skitter,


Calm yourself, there's
no one here but you....

Scratch..
what was that?
walls all around,
are they in there?

It's all in your head,
gonna end up dead,
fuck, fuck, fuck.....

Skin shivers
again it chitters
in the cieling

What are you?
under the floor
a silent patch,
again the scratch

Where is it?

maddening, maladies of the mind
anonymously there
reeling
look up
down,
spinning round.....

pause, panting,

strain,

listen,


SCRATCH,
sanity splinters

whispered echo

chitter, oh so bitter

scratch I'm sure they're
fucking rats

silence,
shhhhhhh....
It's ok..

chitter, scratch splatter,
in grey matter.

In

the great Rorschach of life, just another blotch, I repeat myself while under stress.

You are doing some nice things with sound, you got to the end before I did. Suspense was a little lacking.

noises in the night

new rhythms and techniques remind us of Poe, well done!
