as above so below

cramped inside where the understanding soaks
all the cakes untidy in a row
cutting it out from above
letting it fall from below
right into
our mouths

tell us the story of the traveller
tell the story of his son
tell the strangers eyes apart
tell everyone

our mouths fall from below
cut out from right into
what was above
rows of cakes soaking
untidily cramped
in understanding

tell us the story...
