IMPLODING REALITY Silent scream wildly flapping of wings unseen around this crying head where eyes are no more and mouth a wide silence where ears hear only madness while mind is anywhere but sane Violence throws me out of bed every night on legs that collapse forgotten they don't work lugging, tug drag into that corner they fly around cursing me lashing out insane insane Eyes unsee, ears unhear, mouth unscream imploding reality If I am insane Why can I describe this so vividly? *** January 3, 2017

There is something about The Scream that gets to me and your poem carried that feeling to a T. I'm lucky to get to see this painting it is hanging here in our Art Institute...A definite fav

The Scream is my favourite Munch painting. I had to live in a few European countries, and for about 7 months I lived in Oslo, and went to the Munch Museet. I will never forget that. Thank you, Tim :)
