Vision

Freeverse (with possible visions)

She took her own neck

into her own hands

and tugged and howled silently.

Have I seen this before?

Am I watching a film

or hearing a dream?

No scream, or invisible, inaudible

scheme performed by my head?

Can they see my movements as I copy;

hear, with their eyes, my screech?

Will that silent whinge or yammer teach them

to know me? Or am I, am I?

So strange to see that neck

taken into her hands

as she howls silently!

Has she done this before, as my vision seems to tell?

This sounds like me when I am writing poetry.
