The Catwalk Sisters

17.07.13. 13.32

she was an ugly girl
with a lovely voice ... n three catwalk sisters .... 
n some of the men that came courting 
were distracted by the songs 
coming from the kitchen 

n they found that if they locked her in the cupboard 
that their own voices became more magical ... 

18.07.13. 
n make tootling melodies
n looney tunes 
n alien bloops 

****************

n then one day 
one of the suitors heard a 
muffled thumping noise coming 
from the cupboard under the stairs 
n took it upon himself to enquire if there 
might be a power failure or trapped animal .... 

**************

21.47

he was ushered into the drawing room 
and informed that there was 
a ghost present in the 
house n it was a family secret 
they must entreat him to reveal this to nobody .... 

**********
n he took his leave somewhat bewildered 
n i have no idea wha is going to happen next 

*************

19.07.13. 

n of course one day 
he decies to take the long 
way back to his estate down a woodland 
path n is struck by the dazzling evening light 
and a strange bird song .... 

************
00.56
they wouldn't ... 
they seemed so affable ... so attentive ... 

***************
19.07.13. am

they wooo they wooo 
n a dark cloud passed over the sharp glints 
magpies laughing sarcastically 
n the gulls sound like they are being assaulted  

20.07.13. 

the bird song reminded 
her of the tunes coming from the sisters' kitchen 
they started to sound like words ... 

21.07.13. 
a twit a woo 
caw caw 
tak tak tak  
tweet tweet 

14.13
n then of course 
he hears a rustling struggle 
a muffled mumbling voice like one is gagged 
n someone is dragging a live body 
through the woods like a mummy 

22.07.13. 
n they found if they put a container 
in the cupboard with some 
water that some of the bloops n tootles 
could be bottled ... 
and a special frozen larder 
was prepared with all labels for different 
types of bloop 

n you could drink one n start blooping   
or do a little bloople 
a tootle bloop 
or a flootle ... 

or an augmented
supernatural throat chord 
where the strings in the organ sound further apart 

*************
27.07.13 
23.48
bouncels, balloon yelps , 
echoes, tong tongs n woodpecker yoyos 

28.07.13. 
n angel sighs 

***************

30.07.13. 
n they got hold 
of a spray that could make her voice go all muffley ....  
31.07.13. 
n they were all tootling 
n blooping n bubbling like nothing on earth .... 

1.08.13. 

and there was less 
of that embarrassing noise coming from the cupboard .... 
just a rather nasty smell ... 

***********

2.07.13.     12.55pm
an nutty wood n stuff 
n then one day 
he took the forest path at glooming dusk 
n heard what he could only describe as an owl guitar 

**********

an the way the wood was 
cut at angles make
it sound the more piercing n nutty echoes  ....  

*************
4.08.13. 

the sky went red ... he picked up the guitar 
n started to strum 
n all of a sudden he hears a screech 
from the sisters' house .... 

*************
11.08.13. 10.50am 
to wit .. .

*************
14.08.13. 
n she hadn't the 
tiniest inkling she had made a song ... 

*******
a whooo a whooo ..... 
terwitch terwitch terwitch 
150813 4.04am 

n she was tole 
that her songs n paintings 
did not belong to her 
cus they were to pay for her keep ..... 

**********
15.08.13. 
snatched from 
her like newborn babes .... 
************

17.08.13. 
n sometimes 
forcibly extracted from her cells .... 
the prisoner is on 
suicide watch ...  

***************
190813 5.22am 
a widowww wooo ooo
wooo widow wooo 

230813 
hoot hoot  

***************
150913
honk honk 
a bottle broke
on the terracotta floor 
n there was magic leaking everywhere ... 
oozing through windows
n down drains 
n objects started to talk ... 

150913 
n people were looting 
bottles of magic 
160913
n strange knocks n bumps would come 
from peoples stomachs 
n things they hadn't said .... 

170913 
and then one of the sisters 
found she could fit a device to the cupboard 
that would have her sisters
utterances delivered directly into her brain 
n there were rain bloops n popsicles galore 

220913
n she was not allowed to 
look in mirrors 

011113
n then one day they filled the cupboard 
with anthrax n she was not able to speak at all ...  
ah htats better they said 
give someone else a chance of an airing 
n we've got all those bottles in the freezer ....  
n they laughed at her 
and called her a zombie  

021113

n it was weird 
she find she can make tunes 
as long as they don't has any words 


n make tootling melodies
n looney tunes 
n alien bloops 


************
n it flashed through her mind 
a picture book 
a dead lion with a honeycomb inside 
the last utterances of a dying man ... 

she couldn't walk but 
she could run  
234am 05113
n shed always been 
made to give everything 
away even her own babies ....
