That is dead which Can no longer arise Or the look coming from The depths of colorless eyes That gaze upon one Who is suddenly so despised Yet speaking the truth With words at first fair to hear But cascade increasingly Into tired and broken ears Pursuing with relentless fervor The sound of audible tears Silence is to blinding light What darkness is to a shout As dying is to living From hand to open mouth And holding back in suppression Explodes two fold when finally let out The eyes are not alive The ears are closed And mouth opened wide |

I've rarely read bitterness so acutely expressed. The rhythm, the content, excellent. ~ Claire |
