Fan whirs,
like a cyclone
building pressure
head craves silence
thump –
automated shutoff
ears ring in aftermath
mind craves silence
shrill peep
shatters calm
pierces closed pane
heart craves silence
emotions churn
burning tears
anger screaming
soul craves silence
dissonance
a monotonous roar
bouncing off bones
no silence here
only craving
