light & noise are evil twins
—
one is loud
deafening
enough to grind my teeth to dust
enough to burst my jaw
and the vein in my temple
the other pulses
brightly
behind my eyelids it flashes
bright enough to split my pupil
bright enough to scorch my retina
and yet only i seem to hear one
and yet only i seem to see one
the cavernous depths
of my skull
is room enough
for the noise to bounce off of
the echo is far too loud
the cavernous depths
of my skull
is home to mirrors
for the light to reflect off of
the flash is far too bright
it feels like
i just might
close
my
eyes
