Prenatal squirming
An itch beneath your eyelids
A yearning for something you’ve
Experienced countless times but will
Never remember

An inkblot singularity
Getting smaller and smaller, until
It is infinitesimal
A decimal
Always shrinking
You can only feel inside your teeth
And the beds of your curling back fingernails
And the grasping roots of your optic nerve

A colossal whine
High pitched sine wave boring through bone
Electrifying marrow
Vibrations travel so well through fluid

Squeezing your eyes shut
Screaming through the static
Until your voice bleeds
Shrill and peeling

A blue whale bellowing at
A squeaking mouse
Something so massive
Engulfing a speck
In so violent a gesture
It shatters the Earth

Hard bending of bone
Femurs and ulnas pushed to the brink
The sound you hear before the crack
That never comes
Through a stethoscope, just hissing tension
Prolonged
