IMPLODING REALITY
Silent scream
wildly flapping of wings unseen
around this crying head
where eyes are no more
and mouth a wide silence
where ears hear only madness
while mind is anywhere but sane
Violence throws me out of bed
every night on legs that collapse
forgotten they don't work
lugging, tug drag into
that corner
they fly around
cursing me
lashing out
insane
insane
Eyes unsee, ears unhear, mouth unscream
imploding reality
If I am insane
Why can I describe this
so vividly?

That is very powerful. And the picture is a perfect accompaniment.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mel :)
DeleteYeah... it is!
There is a thin line between insanity and genius. And you are not insane.
ReplyDeleteThanks Budgie, they often think I am insane though :)
