Half Deaf and Unsure

 

Now half deaf and unsure 
if the silence 
or the roaring voice is real 

A thunderous, bottomless noise 
in the freezing cold  
of a windowless room 

The lights gone out 
crushed skulls thrown forward 
knocked out, dead 
oh God, oh God 

Ghostly floating silver 
obsidian sparkle 
lights extinguished by pain 

Blind danger, gasping in surprise 
for all the fumbling frustrations 
all the blood from the mouth, the head 

Oh God, oh blind God 
not this, or anything else 
God, not this
