THE ALLEYNIAN 709

CREATIVE WRITING

Ned Wildgoose Bulloch (Year 13) Ciphertext

Glances are written in unfamiliar notation. Eyes and lips etch glyphs you can see But can’t hear. You accumulate the symbols under some operation.

The result is radio static On an unused channel. You redefine your gestures. You override your breath.

They will redress their expectations. You click syllables through teeth; You are Morse between ships, Being no or being yes, Not meeting the Undulation of a Wave In between. The mismatch persists. You are signals they cannot read. Your face is ugly noise and Not the language you believe.
