Tinnitus

I hear ringing, ringing,
a thousand crickets singing.
Nonstop the cabaret,
every second of every day.

My Quiet forever lost
among the resounding chorus.
No pause to take applause.
No silence on the concourse.

I rest my head to sleep
to the drilling pitch of C.
Goodnite tormentors, Goodnite friends,
tomorrow I wake to you again.

Away

My skin’s so tight,
it doesn’t fit.
Yet I keep growing
in spite of it.
 
I’ve got to go.
 
I’ll leave the shell behind
for another to use,
while I find
more space to move
(why not? –
other slowpokes do).
 
Silly, sweet,
expandable me,
dreams of shedding the coat
stained with ennui.

    Hello, I'm Dana! Welcome to my poetry site! I write when inspired, from the heart, and with empathy for shared human emotions. I hope my words provide connection to our common experience; perhaps a tear or chuckle or a knowing nod to reflect we're not alone. Thank you for visiting!
