One quiet mouth

Look my mouth has roads coming in and out of it.

Country roads. City roads. Roads not on any map yet.

You would think it is full of noises and horrific sounds that never stop. Loud sirens and tractors and trains. Sounds of thumping feet.

But it only has silence. One loud silence.

That is how digging of earth sounds like. It is how lady of death sleeps at night.
