sounds of grief

explosions in the mind
lowest frequencies of life
ancient tension sprung

broken teeth and nails
grinding metal chipping bone
ringing overtones

amplifying pain
adding weight to everything
eerie layered drones

atonal screechings
resonating dissonance
one-part harmony

dripping blood on glass
weakened pulse of family
pushing blood to brain

winding backwards clocks
everlasting tinnitus
pennies in a jar

every utterance
bathed in timeless drifting sleep
infinite echoes.
