Fragment


In a wordless horror

With no excuses

He says nothing

Feels himself to be,

But cannot explain the hell inside

Except to shriek and howl

And have others smile

And call it MUSIC.

 

Spitting at the moon,

In a rage because

No matter where he goes

There it is

Beaming away

All by itself

With no help

From him.

 

(December ’90)
