Head/Ache

Missing image

 

~~~~~

 

My head aches

and the crickets in my ears

are chattering in shrill little chants

magnified and sizzling

in hundreds of thousands

of grease fried voices

 

chitt chitt chattering

 

And it drives me insane

this quiet of loudness

when too many sizzles burn the edges

and you can’t see beyond the empty spaces

left in the corners of the crowd

 

loud loud loud


I wanna crawl into the point of the arc

where one wall meets the other

and lie with my face

pressed to the crease of each

in a silent embrace of dark empty space

    Amazing

    I love the play with words have going on here. You are such a god gifted talent. It is to bad that poets no longer have much of a career.

    I really liked this, you have some fab phrases in here, I especially liked he point of the arc, where one wall meets the other. Most excellent! Good luck in the contest. sj
