When You Yell

February 6, 2008

When you yell I slip
far downdowndown
until I’m almost out.
When you yellyellyell
you make me want
to join a silent cult. 
I will not be sucked
up by the sound
of yellyellyell–I’ll be
lured by soft and clear and true
to a place where my ears
don’t need muffs.

Encapsulated crimson.
If red could kill
it might.
