Night clubs are fascinatingly wordless.
Like a birth,
Frightfully non-verbal.
The pre-linguistic music, the mute people
Trying to conceale their smells, scars, souls,
Trying to pretend they have smells, scars, souls
And propelling an invisible word-eating machine with their heartbeats in unison.
Maybe if I scream on the top of my lungs all of the words that were born dead tonight
Or attempt to rescue them so they don’t get swallowed by a deaf hole.
Mandarina, gitter, cuervo, horn, schliesslich.
The only one who can speak,
I will breathe life into them pronouncing them aloud
And we would experience new things just because we invented the words to describe them.
No meaning existed before these words.
