Notes About The Poem

Silent Night

Silent Night

Espressos and explosions
Gun shots
Screams
Blood ebbing towards the lifeless drain
Then

Silent Night

This silent night is horrible, it makes me expect something bad to happen, makes me afraid of this silence, there comes a storm after all :( I like it!

The juxtaposition of explosions and espressos captures the shock and horror of it all. Then precious blood ebbing towards the drain ... And to imagine that all this is sandwiched between moments of serene silence! Powerful piece!
