"The glacier knocks in the cupboard, The desert sighs in the bed, And the crack in the teacup opens A lane to the land of the dead."

The Next Footfall


This was a phrase I read on a political blog. There were rumors of scandal, government corruption of the worst kind. The writer wondered if a certain detail might be the next footfall.

Probably she'd meant to say shoe drop, but never mind, the idea is intriguing one

Imagine a political scandal walking, approaching like a detective or a ghost in an echoing hall.
