scream

It feels like kiwi skin-
Prickly sensation down my spine.

It tastes tart to the tongue-
Surge of sugar, key lime pie.

It looks like a zigzag pattern,
On the heart rate monitor.

It sounds like a soda can,
Popping, fizzing, pent-up pressure.

Its feels like cold metal
Against my bare skin.

It tastes like acid
In my throat worn thin.

It looks like an empty birdhouse
Sitting alone in a tree.

It sounds like silence
Covering up a scream.
