I cannot silence it.

Words simmer forth from void to
Bones to skin.

Seep through
Sludge
Gold flecked river bottom

Rising up
Steady and thick with spirit
With blood
All of your silenced selves

Lanced from the wounds of the
Midnight hour
You clutch your own skin
Hot and red
Strip away the heavy years that
Told you to be quiet.

Howl in agony
In ecstasy,
Sing

Whistle the ghosts in through the Windows cracked just so
The crisp night air slithers in like
Snakes of ice
Around your neck
Weaving slow the
Immortal tapestry that

You write

You write

You write.
