Run through a vocoder
A cry of pain
Synthesised into ambivalence
The sound of extinction
As elevator music
It haunts the streets and alleys
The tops of the tower-blocks
And the metastasis of corridors
The sound of night
In a world gone mad
Time and space and memory
In dementia
The wailing flutter of the vulture’s wings of angels
Who can no longer carry you home
