Poem: Who She Is

Listening to the internal tide

Her mattress an echo chamber crackling

Rippling out in a thousand creaks

Mimicking the catching of her lungs

Fabric of time trips up

Streams forward then

Slips sideways

A rolling fuselage

Across abandoned plains

Whistling grass in

A forgotten runway

Tortured hysteria as

Child ripped from breast

Wail tearing skies

Anguish trained refined focused

To soldering blue flame
