my belly kept making gurgling noises

my belly kept making gurgling noises
at night, like a restless jungle.
Some people suggest it's the wine and pills,
but I actually think it's the air.
That sooty haze is not pollution,
is the threat of violences that the future augurs.
They kept saying it's the diesel fumes
so we dismiss it all the easier,
but it itsn't.
It's the weight of all the promises broken
and threats made, premeditated or
otherwise.
This halo of violence seeps into our bodies,
permeates our thoughts,
and it's most present whenever you are alone
or in a new place.
