Alone, engulfed in all that you mean
Like demonic song from a rabid cat
Try, then try harder to hear – no understanding
Please forgive my dull impotent efforts
Tearful cackles rise up from skin-covered psyche
End the aching bones and nerves, shout I the groveler
Utter my name inept negotiator – whispers worthless, faceless
Shattering innards’ mirrors – only the warped ones
It’s me! Dear God, I am marred! A guilty gasp.
Take a profound breath – It’s me who is bravely altered
