Something Screams


Something screams at me.
I barely hear it late at night
I catch it’s movement like
A theif's shadow under a streetlight.

Something screams at me.
Through dripping yellow teeth,
It slams hard against the bars,
It bellows it's name
But I won’t hear it.
It screams of the pain and anguish.
It roars and rages.
Blood oozing,
Nails dragging,
Mouth open,
Eyes blazing,

It knows my name.

Something screams at me.
