Rewired

worming wires,
relentless messages
ooze down the neck from
saturated cranial deployments

the cat feeds the mouse
in this game of "Can you hear me?"

wayward wires
lighten loads
or so is supposed
in the ground and under sea

the cat has starved itself
in it's desert litter box

wounded wires lay
scarred and sparking
leaking letters and
spewing sonic sonnets

dead mouse is overfed
and tires of wiggling to and fro

weakened wires melt
and fuse in frustrating wait
sighing summons tap their toe
for a later outlet
