screaming child
incessant, repeating
screaming sine waves
sawtooth patterns aching through my ears.
slide sideways through the haze:
red, bright and new
bothersome and tiresome,
my responsibility.
poke sharply,
more screams,
run my fingers quickly,
delicately, fastidiously
across the face
draw the red out,
and it runs away,
quickly, silently,
leaving it quiet
and pale
and still
and still.
