Deafening Static
I used to climb into the bath tub.
Slip my head under the surface of the water.
And listen.
Listen to the sounds of my body.
Listen to sounds of my heartbeat.
Listen to the sounds of my thoughts.
The thoughts you bury and hide from even yourself.
Today I got in the bathtub and all I heard.
From my body was static.
I listened today and heard static.
I listened today and heard the static of the machine.
I listened today and heard the static of a torn and broken heart.
I listened to day and heard the static of a broken and battered body.
I listened today and heard nothing but a deafening static.
I listened today and was crushed to the point of tears over a deafening
static.
