something in me twisted
in the most normal ordinary way
like iron succumbing to heat -
something in me twisted
today
something in me convulsed
my heart of flesh, maybe
that which once flutterèd -
now it convulsed
in me
something in me cried out
not in the sirenlike deafening shrieks
it's a most suppressed sound -
something in me cried out
"i'm sick"
i'm sick of all that is
and all of which maybe
i'm sick of this strange strange world
and the way things twisted
convulsed
and cried out
into me
