SHE SCREAMS

She screams
when the radio is loud

She screams
At images in her head

She screams
When she can't
see her nakedness

She screams
at the voice
of the dead

She screams
when past
memories visit

She screams
at suspected fears

She screams at dreams
Now diminished

She soaks herself daily
with tears

All  her emotions
Are bundled
Into
loud streaking cries

Which like fingers point
And puts all blame

On unsuspecting stimuli

This she internalizes
with more screaming

And moans
down deep in her soul

Her own frequency
clouds perception

And her deranged cries
take toll

She screams
And screams

Oh how she screams!
