#the scream
A leech is inside you,
red and swollen
laughing and
tickling you,
whispering
“keep going,
you’re not
going to stop me.”
In your eyes,
cries for help
are sucked dry -
vacant,
empty,
nothing.
You can’t explain
the writhing
sucking
draining.
You can’t describe
the reason
for the twisting,
the palor,
the ache
for something more.
The need to feed it.
Survival lost
if its needs
aren’t met.
And all around you,
suffocating laughter,
arched brows,
and questions
you can’t answer
except with a single scream.
CRYING.
Or tonight’s History viewing, I’m checking out season 2 of Raiders of the Lost Art on @curiositystream
The first two episodes focus on Edvard Munch’s The Scream and Gustav Klimt’s The Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I (aka The Lady in Gold or The Woman in Gold.)
Look forward to learning about these two iconic works of art.
