SILENCE

3 0 0
                                    

Praying for an unidentified sound,

A clock tick,

A roach scampering,

something to cure the deafening hush.

The ears of the hopeless pulp, scraping the walls,

hoping the thoughts would be scraped away in sequence.

Off the cliff I jumped,

hoping for a safe fall,

crying out mid air hoping for a call,

To say stop.

How selfish as one been to gather these thoughts, laying a mattress in my consciousness swaying away to the ambiance.
