Unshakeable Bones – 27th June 2025

~ shaun tenzenmen

A reversed and re-imagined poem based on Under The Hood.

Under The Hood

I can feel it in my bones
Unshakeable but invisible
I try to look inside it
But this time, it’s not divisible

Clouding up the thoughts
Stumbling around my guesses
Impossible to clarify
Mixed within my messes

Can’t be touched upon
Or identified in the grey
It’s on the tip of my tongue
But what it is, I cannot say

Say cannot. Is it but? (I what?)

Tongue my tip – it’s on!


Identified grey. In or

upon touched, be

messes mixed within.


Clarify to impossible

guesses around my stumbling

The thoughts up-clouding

divisible? Not this time, but it’s

inside it – look to try, I,

invisible but unshakeable

bones in it feel (I can?)

  3. You’ve built up a fair bit of tension in this piece, beginning and ending with questions that have no answers. It’s a relatable tension–I think we all ask questions knowing full well there will be no answer.
