hold out your waiting hand

and whisper on the brink of

aftermath

caress my hair and cradle my

face between fingers

splattered

in prismatic colors

did you feed me the noise?

is that you solemn single voice

that I hear crying?

do you feel triumphant?

you scream like you’re in pain

a trickle of sound becomes a broken dam

robbing my white noise

I open mouth to sing

but I only 

writhe upon the floor.
