Poem – Response to John Verghese’s Video

Bang!
The gunshot rings out – shattering the silence – people startle, look, buzzing like bees as the hive is disturbed –
The body falls.
Red blooms on white sand.
Aiiieee!
The scream rings out – shattering the silence – people startle, scream as well, run like deer as the herd discovers danger in their midst –
The body lies still.
The red sand dries.
The Blind Woman Smiles.
(She smiles and her mouth is the grinning teeth of a skull, her dark sunglasses are the eye holes, her skin bone. Death turns, and walks away.)

Brief 4 – Leanne’s Video Response to Ben’s Poem (Option A)

Transposed from Ben’s poem:

Black Well 

At the bottom of the well I gaze

down, deeper into the abyss that holds you

the shape of your body clear 

distinct from the nothing about us 

 

Your movements mesmerise, the echoing

of your bare flesh against the walls 

of our prison 

make me think of home 

 

I reach for you

but fall short, my actions more frenzied

as the distance between us remains fixed

yet 

yet 

yet 

yet 

 

I scramble across the surface

Feeling the texture of nothing 

Caress, splinter, burn and soothe 

All at once 

Returning to inconsistency 

 

Then I go down

Now falling

Will reach 

Can’t touch

Won’t breathe 

I need

Want 

Hate

Felt 

Your skin, so cold

 

Be never stilled 

else swallowed by the abyss

‘ caress, a soundless abstract 

Warmth amongst black 

 

I lie alone, gazing up

Into the dark
