MIRROR CRACKS


words riot
around my
head

akin to
wild horses
charging
across
open land
under a
thundering
sky

there is
madness
in them

they put
themselves in
my mouth
my head
urging me
to speak
them out
loud
and write
them down

they know
how
I think
how
I feel

and even
in
my sleep
they manifest
themselves
trying to
wake
me
     they need
an
outlet

the mirror
cracks
as my eyes
fall upon
it

the words
will soon
escape.
