the elephant in the room

(explanation of the idiom: illustrates a large issue with influence over a discussion that is not mentioned by the participants.)

what happens inside
the force that governs an undercurrent
is private

knowing where
not to step

as if the lining
of an earache
has been woven into the berber.

gingerly the clouds
go past on tiptoe
grey as battleships

there is no subtracting
from the leviathan air
because the giant appendage
is everything but what it is.


elephant in the room from here.
