Beetle in a Box (Siblings)
Sibling love is the difference within
The laughter in the slaughter
The unspoken and unsounded parts
Of a private language, learning to walk
On the after of the water
Sharing broken fragments
Of recycled jokes
That only you would understand
|: Because [vamp 5x]… :|
(Tacit)
(What are you reading? Ready…)
I remember when you were learning to talk
That I would translate for you.
You were incoherent to everyone else
And only I could parse
Your utterance, open the box
Of beetles, and not
(I’ll un-shower once you’re older than me…)
I can already hear the sound of your voice
Reprimand me
I can already hear the sound of your voice
Remind me
(If it isn't the Professor…!)
Business is dead, no extra earning
Contract listening over visceral entropy, ending
The name that you gave me
