The silent scream
Fills my head
Larynx unable to
Shed vocal thrashes,
Inward and cerebral
A yell treats brain mass
Like dough
Kneaded yet unleavened
Zero rises given,
None felt behind my eyes
I am unsure the sound it Could
Would, maybe Should, make—
Outward narration deemed
Unworthy, of
Expulsion and energy,
A mental collar of earplugs
Sending waves through body, back
Towards superficial unrest
Earthen core warming
