Taste- meat
Touch- paper
scent- alcohol from a texta
Sound- loud noise
sight- red letter
I've gone through so many pages
in this tattered old notebook
trying to write a poem
that won't appear
dizzy from sniffing
this red-ink marker
that refuses to spell
anything but your
goddamned name
in capital letters
ruining every inch of fucking paper
matching the blood in my teeth
from chewing the inside
of my cheek
and I can't escape the screaming
that keeps ringing my ears
even though it's coming
from me
Taste – something briny
Touch – leather
Sight – blanket
Scent – meat
Sound – a low hum
