A RAPOETICS REPRINT: Close Your Eyes And Hum… by Carrie Malarkey

 

Close Your Eyes And Hum

Close Your Eyes And Hum
Close those eyes
Don’t look away
On the borderline of personality
Love it
Hate it
Melt into the blackness
Behind the streetlights
Close those eyes
See through association
As traffic lights pass
Manipulate control of the world
Turn it over in your hand
Break it at your whim
Close those eyes
Unrepressed vision
Hostile sound waves
Thick and black
Oppressively smothering
Anger passing quickly
Can you hear it?
Coherent, hard, uncertain, blocked
Close those eyes
Can you see it?
