Noise

The prose in my head
Is leaving me dead
In feeling, or maybe just name;

The noise all around,
The unbidden sound...
I'm quickly going insane.

I can't quite be discreet
With the roar of a busy street
Drilling into my brain.

The silence I need,
The short time to feed
On the foods of thought and pain.

Nothing left in my mind,
I left it all behind
In the time before the roar.

I seek only quiet,
My mind's simple diet
Of the calm before the storm.


Note: Notice a theme in some of these poems?
