A silver bell hovers
above the skylight—
louder in the earth
than my ears.
It sinks,
slowly through the ceiling
like a dime descending
to the ocean floor
then engulfs the colour
off the off-white walls
washed in my lamp’s vanilla cast
and piece by piece
pulls the whole house
between it's lips.
Only me and it remain—
a sunless earth
stalked by the moon.
I feel it's concaves
colliding with mine.
like two tectonic plates
uncompleting each other,
a hole inside a hole.
