this is the sound

this is the sound
corrugated fingers scraping sheet metal hips
this is the sound
open brick tongue shaping barbwire lips
this is the sound
flaming kettle drums banged by velvet hammers
this is the sound
ossified arms snap grasping love's glamour
this is the sound
my angel engulfed in snow driven silence
this is the sound
cut circuits encapsulate electric defiance
this is the sound
broken winged doves whistling through the sky
this is the sound
player piano memories notched on my eyes
this is the sound
pure silken rivers of hair rushing shoulders
this is the sound
crackling brown grass of touch growing older
this is the sound
razor rain pummeling pavement to dust
this is the sound
echoes of sentiments pretending to be us
this is the sound
