Mikaela Castledine #170 Day of Numbers

It's a day of numbers

there is everything to count

I reckon

stitches lengths pieces

days costs minutes sales

counting under my breath

on the indrawn and the outgoing

don't interrupt I’m tallying

on my fingers

or my silent moving lips

or muttering aloud

my numbers underground

come to the surface

like a tunneled train to explain

why I am not taking questions

just at this moment
