Scream


The noise bursts from lips red, raw and cracked
spreading out in burning lines through the air,
small harmonic echoes bouncing between the burning streams of sound
bursting in the ears/

/like flavour crystals burst in the mouth
before the scalding salty draught of sea water/

/before the wall of pain, flaming wash of hate filled noise
cascades into the darkness of the ears
and burrows into the hindbrain
trapping and ensnaring thoughts
blinding the eyes/

/Which blink.
Slow heavy lids, mascara streaked and long lashed
descending
slower than a snail
yet faster than mice/

/hands cover the ears
moving with a speed unmatched by any chrysalis'
matamorphosis in the trees
the long painted nails
clawing round
sheilding/

YOU CANT SHEILD YOURSELF FROM THE WORLD.
