brain activity at its best or at its worst.


Echoes of Echoes

Hear my screams reflecting
in the labryinth of mirrors.
Echoes of echoes
bouncing from the corners
of my mind. Hysterical sounds
haunting me. Laughing
echoes---darting-- like a
rat beneath my pillow. Scratching
upon the raw reality of my
brain. Trails of waste, trampled
and scatter upon the doorstep,
lead to crying
echoes
calling from inside me, terrorizing
the last innocent thought,
leaving nothing but gnawed
and torn remembrances
of myself.
Muted into submission
I lie here nothing but a bag
of bones.
Rattling echoes
Dying echoes
I scream
in
silence.

I love it. Most of the time the most revealing and poinant writing comes when we remove that filter between heart, head and hand that holds the pen. By the way..."bag of bones" hmmmm, is this a borrow, if it is, it is great, if it is not, it is great still.

Panic, terror, frantic nightmares!
Oh, this is hellish! I want to scream
for you, GET OUT OF HER HEAD!!!
Wow! What a write! It seems strange to call
something so terrible, wonderful, but this is
a wonder of a poem! It connects. It communicates
so perfectly what is going on.

Brain activity at its highest, perhaps. Some good work your brains are putting out, I see. :) You storyteller you.

Pure genious. Pure magic. I applaud you.
